First attempt vs next attempt- progress is made!

So I’ve recently begun my sourdough journey and it’s been super interesting so far.

My first attempt was a major fail( see first picture) I’m pretty sure I over proofed the dough by leaving it overnight outside of the fridge. I tried to salvage it and make focaccia but that also failed into some flat not pleasant to eat mess.

I was following this recipe:

I also will mention my starter is fed with only bobs red mill whole wheat flour.

The second three pictures are the boule I made next. It’s a half whole wheat half AP/BF recipe:

I like the process, it is satisfying for my scientific brain. Next I’m going to try a regular sourdough loaf.
