OP - I like the "Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day" book too. You can check it out of the library and try it out.

Yes, no-knead bread in a Le Creuset dutch oven.
Yesterday evening, I mixed 3 cups of bread flour, 1 packet of yeast, 1 tablespoon each of salt and sugar, a little bit of rosemary and oregano and 1.5cups of warm water.
Let covered bowl sit at room temp overnight.
Then gathered into a ball and dumped it into the dutch oven, which was preheated in the oven at 450F.
Baked covered for 30 minutes and uncovered for 15. (It might have been too long, since I was using the convection and perhaps shouldn't have.)
This was the simplest recipe I could find, but others have you knead the bread just a little in the morning and let the dough rise again for 2hours before baking. I'll try that next.
(And since we're French, I buy President butter, because it's cultured, unlike most American butters. Cultured butter tastes better.)
My favorite no-knead recipe is the Saturday White Bread by Ken Foster (author of Flour, water, salt, yeast cookbook). Pretty easy and dough requires minimal handling except for initial mixing, folding and shaping.
Recipe is easy to find online.
Oops, Ken Forkish, not Ken Foster
