I'm afraid I know little about breadmaking. Is there a bread where you could: -- mix it and I guess knead it **in the evening** (say around 9pm), -- **leaving it out** overnight (perhaps to rise (?) etc.?) -- then about 8? hours later (**say around 7am?**) you could put it in an oven -- and indeed then bake the loaf (or perhaps rolls) at 7am (I assume that takes roughly 1/2 hour? but I know nothing). Thanks for your expertise. Thanks to all for the amazing answers here! --- Note for example THIS recipe: http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/11376-no-knead-bread The problem there is the **two hours in the morning** aspect. I'm sort of looking for that, but **without** the "two hours in the morning" aspect. Ideally, in the morning I just want to toss it in to bake for 1/2 hour :O
