What is a "rolling pin"?
A rolling pin is a cylindrical kitchen tool used for flattening and shaping dough. It typically consists of a long, cylindrical rod made of wood, metal, or plastic, with smooth, rounded ends. Rolling pins come in various sizes and styles, including straight or tapered designs, and may have handles or knobs for easy gripping and maneuverability. To use a rolling pin, you place a ball of dough on a flat, floured surface, then roll the pin over the dough, applying pressure to flatten and stretch it into the desired thickness and shape.
