I followed the recipe for the sourdough bread {no knead} and it didn't raise for the final last proofing. It looks like foccacia

I agree. I had my house warm to have the starter grow in which made my dough very sticky. I tried again in cooler temps and worked fine. The dough is a little sticky per instructions but much more manageable. I feel because this dough is a "No Knead" dough you don't have the control to form it. I'm playing around with different shapes. I made baguette's from this recipe not perfect shaping but it's fine. Try again it's fun learning.
