Rosemary focaccia

I very much like this recipe for a delicious bread to eat with barbecues and salads on a glorious day like today; the sun shining and an excellent victory for Andy Murray at Wimbledon.

500g strong white flour
1 sachet yeast
350ml tepid water

Add the yeast to the flour in a bowl then pour in all the water and mix together. Empty onto a floured board and knead for 10 minutes.
Leave to rise in a cling film covered bowl with about a tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom - about an hour.
Empty out onto board and flatten. Transfer to oiled baking tray. Leave to rise for another hour.
Make indents with fingers and sprinkle with a handful of rosemary leaves, some sea salt and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake in pre heated oven - gas 7 - for an hour. Place a tray of water on a lower shelf in the oven - this seems to help
