My problem is that I often don't get home until 8ish, and the thought of baking bread at that point doesn't inspire me. Weekends are easier, absolutely.
The timer feature that many bread makers is great for that if you are OK with the bake-in-the-maker loaves (and don't make recipes that call for fresh milk or other ingedients that spoil too quickly).
Just put starter ingredients in the maker before bed, let it run on the dough cycle, dump the other ingredients on top before work, and set the machine to start about 3 hours (or whatever the length of the cycle is) before you get home. Fresh bread on arrival.
