[[File:Chapaticooking.jpg|thumb|[[atta flour|Atta]] dough being rolled with a rolling pin during the preparation of [[chapati]]]]
A '''rolling pin''' is a cylindrical [[List of food preparation utensils|food preparation utensil]] used to shape and flatten [[dough]]. Two styles of rolling pin are found: rollers and rods. Roller types consists of a thick cylinder with small handles at each end; rod type rolling pins are usually thin tapered batons. Rolling pins of different styles and materials offer varying advantages, as they are used for different tasks in cooking and baking.

==Material==
Rolling pins come in a variety of sizes, shapes and materials including [[glass]], [[ceramic]], [[Acrylic polymer|acrylic]], [[bakelite]], [[copper]], [[brass]], [[aluminium]], [[silicone]], [[wood]], [[stainless steel]], [[marble]], and [[plastic]].<ref>''Rolling Pins by Reginald King.2010''</ref> Some are hollow and are able to be filled with cold or warm water to better roll a desired food. Marble rolling pins are often cooled in a [[Domestic refrigerator|refrigerator]] for maintaining a cold dough while making [[puff pastry]].<ref>[[Heloise (columnist)|Heloise]]'s ''Kitchen Hints by Heloise'', Prentice-Hall, 1963</ref>
