Why does my dough look like a giant sponge

CeeWeed

Hi, I did my starter, my sponge and my dough.  My dough, however, turned out to look more like a giant sponge.  

Can anyone tell me why?

Getting desparate here :P
Thanks!

Hello CeeWeed,

At what stage of the process did your dough take on the appearance?  After all, that is what a risen dough is supposed to look like although the only time you might actually notice it is after the preferment/first rise when you turn it out for shaping.

Perhaps if you can give a bit more detail as to when it happened and why this is such a problem we can better assess what might be going on.  Pictures too, if you have them.

Good luck with your projects.
