rolling pin

Pastry-spreading cylinder tool

A rolling pin is a cylindrical kitchen tool for flattening dough.

The classic design has handles at each end and rolls on its axis, though some are simple cylinders rolled with the palms.

Rolling pins come in wood, marble, glass, or metal—marble stays cool for pastry work.
