I've used my breadmaker before but tbh the tin is too small so the bread was alway very dense. This is my first attempt at non machine bread and it turned out swell! Just flour salt, water and yeast combined for literally seconds (no neading), then stood for 12 hours, dropped in a le crueset dish in a 200 degree oven for 25 mins then 10 with the lid off. Really, really good bread.
Congratulations. No knead bread is a great way to get into making it for real. It is so much better than bread machine bread and good enough that you can stop right there and still beat a lot of other breads.
