Whole Wheat Focaccia!

Aloha Everyone, hope your holidays are going well. Don't let the music make you go crazy. 

I was messing around with a focaccia idea, so I finally tried it. It was fun, simple, not really too exciting though. I think I will stick to loaves and baguettes. 

I added rosemary and black olives to the dough, lots of olive oil. Thats pretty much it. I used the focaccia video from Food Wishes.

Very nice bake.  Did it turn out dense/heavy?  I like experimenting with a whole wheat counterpart to a traditional all-white bread, but usually have this problem.

This turned out light. Whole wheat can be like white flour baking if done right. The heaviness can be due to type of whole wheat, fine grade or not, autolyse times, yeast/ culture strength, dough hydration.
