I'd say it's ok... I let my new puppy off-leash the 2nd day I had him 
I would suggest using your planned recall word though... As opposed to, "treat".

Working off leash
I know most of you experienced dog owners will probably laugh at me, but I am excited!
My yard is fenced in all the way except for a hole in the bottom of the fence and a ledge to the neighbors yard. I have had my pup a about 3 weeks and finally felt combfortable enough to let her fetch a tennis ball and play offleash yesterday. I had a treat with me and she came to me every time.
The last couple times I took her out to pee - no leash and she did well.
This is the first thread I don't think I have a question for! As long as I have a treat if she steers off and I say the word treat, she is back.
Any advice though - is it ok to let her offleash? Obviusly I would always leash her for walks and in any public place. Just the yard with no leash
