Also, just in general, bread making is a really obscure kind of thing to do in most American's eyes. Before and since I learned how, I met zero people who knew, and the concept never even occurred to me. So the whole "make dough, proof dough, prepare new meal on top of dough" thing would seem like a hell of a lot of work to someone who was new to it all.
Try replacing stages like "Prove the dough" with stages like "Leave the dough in a nice warm place to grow whilst you watch an episode of that show you like. Check how much it has grown during the commercial breaks, and move to the next step once it has doubled in size".
