Rolling out dough has been a timeless tradition in baking, offering not just a culinary experience but also a chance to flex your hand and arm muscles.
Easy Steps to Perfection
Seek out a smooth surface in your kitchen, whether it's your countertop, a table, or even a spacious stove with a sturdy wooden board.
Dust the surface and your rolling pin lightly with flour for smooth rolling.
Shape the dough into a sizable ball and position it at the center of the floured surface.
Using your palms, gently flatten it into a disk roughly 1 inch or 2.5cm thick.
Place the rolling pin atop the flattened dough. Apply pressure and let the pin rotate as you roll it away from you in smooth, even strokes.
Rotate it periodically to maintain a roughly circular shape.
Handy Tips
Ensure the surface area is sufficient to accommodate the entire rolled-out dough.
Keep your hands and work surface generously floured, with extra flour nearby to prevent sticking.
Expect some flour spillage onto the floor or clothing; stand back and prepare to tidy up afterwards.
Handle the dough minimally to avoid toughening it; follow your recipe's instructions closely.
