A rolling pin is a cylinder used to flatten dough—for pie crusts, cookies, pasta, and pastry.

The classic design has handles on either end, though some are just solid cylinders.

Rolling pins appear occasionally as improvised weapons in comedy, wielded by angry spouses: She chased him around the kitchen with a rolling pin.
