In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and instant yeast; add the water. Using a rubber spatula, mix until the liquid is absorbed and the ingredients form a sticky dough ball.
Rub the surface of the dough lightly with olive oil. Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel, cloth bowl cover, or plastic wrap. Refrigerate immediately for at least 12 hours or up to 3 days.
Line a 9×13" pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter or coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour 2 T. oil in the center of the pan. Deflate the dough by releasing it from the sides of the bowl and pulling it toward the center.
Roll the dough ball in the oil to coat it all over, forming a rough ball. Let the dough ball rest for 3 to 4 hours, depending on the temperature of your kitchen. There is no need to cover it, the room temperature will make it rise.
When ready to bake, place a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat it to 425 degrees F.
If using rosemary, sprinkle it over the dough. Pour 2 T. oil over the dough. Rub your hands lightly in the oil to coat; use all of your fingers to press straight down to create deep dimples. If necessary, gently stretch the dough as you dimple it to allow the dough to fill the pan. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt all over.
Bake 25-30 minutes, until the underside is golden and crisp.
Transfer the focaccia to a cooling rack. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
Serve.
