Dear Bakers, request your help here. I just got feedback from a friend who I had gifted some Focaccia to, that it was very chewy. I usually make my Focaccia using Poolish (100% Hydration) and the flour I use is 12% Gluten. The net hydration of the dough before I pop it in the Oven is 75%. My friend told me that she had refrigerated the bread almost all day before she consumed it at night.

If she had Microwaved it, the chewiness is understandable, but if she hadn't, what could be causing this chewiness? Is it the refrigeration? Is it the Gluten in the flour? My Poolish goes through an overnight cold retard before it is mixed with more flour and Yeast. The thickness of my bread is about 2 cms. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
