Sure thing!  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/08/dining/081mrex.html

I usually use whole wheat bread flour and activate the yeast first (putting the yeast in warm water with sugar before adding it to the flour).  If you start this in the morning come dinner time you'll have a loaf of warm fresh bread for your family.

Thank you for posting that!  I made it yesterday and love it.  I had to run the pan into dh as soon as I took it out of the oven because it was so pretty!  My breadmaker's finicky so I'm happy to find a really easy, really good bread recipe.

I love no knead bread for that reason.  It's a simple recipe, perfect for busy people.  You just start it in the morning and come the evening you have a fresh, tasty bread.
