1. In a bowl combine the yeast, water, flour and salt and mix together to create a wet and well combined dough. Leave it to sit for 15 minutes before applying 4 sets of stretch and folds spread out over an hour, one set every 15 minutes.
2. A stretch and fold method is when one side of the dough is stretched up and pulled over itself. The bowl is then turned and this move is repeated on the following side. Continue stretching and folding and turning the bowl until all sides have been folded. That is one set of stretch and folds.The first set of stretch and folds will be very shaggy and the dough will rip easily. As the folds are carried out over the next while, the gluten structure is created and the dough gains strength. By the last stretch and fold there will be a significant difference in texture and the dough should be able to stretch up quite high and feel strong.
3. Coat an 12inch / 30cm cast iron skillet or a 9 x 13inch / 23x33cm baking tray with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. After the stretch and folds are completed, tip the dough into the oiled skillet. Leave it to sit and rest for 5 minutes, then use oiled fingers to spread the dough out into the skillet. Leave it to proof at room temperature for 1-1.5 hours until it has doubled and it jiggles when the skillet is shaken.
4. Preheat the oven to 392°F/210°C fan-bake or 428°F/220°C regular oven. Drizzle the remaining 2-3 tablespoons olive oil over the focaccia, then use oiled fingers to create deep dimples in the dough, pushing all the way down. Do this all over the bread.
