Maybe "so much work" is not the correct phrase. The rolls have two long resting periods, so working out the timing Is the tricky part. I need to be sure that I have two consecutive days when I can do what the rolls need, when they need it, even though it is not a lot of hands-on time. The bread machine doing the kneading is a big help.
I suspect the pasta machine the poster used, and the way he made up his balls probably adds at least 90 minutes direct hands-on time, and that does not include setting up and cleaning the pasta machine (and I do not have a pasta machine).
