In a covered bowl, mix together all ingredients except the water. Pour about 1/4 cup of warm water over the yeast. Mix the dough and continue to add water until you have a "wet dough". It will not stand up on its own, and is considered more of a "sponge". If you want to add more ingredients, like rosemary or walnuts or olives, do it now. Cover the bowl.
Now, go about your day--snorkeling, swimming, sailing and let your dough rise. If you walk by it, punch it down with a large spoon and mix it up a little.
When you are ready to bake, add more flour to the dough to make it denser and easier to handle and line your baking pan or bread pan with olive oil. Form your dough into a loaf or flatten for foccacia and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Turn on your oven to 375°. When your dough has risen again, place the pan in the oven and bake.
The first clue it is done, is you will have a just baked aroma in your galley. The top should be brown and when you knock on it, it sounds hollow. Cool slightly, slice and enjoy!
