Rolling Pins and Holiday Dough Preparation
Flattening dough to an even thickness is a fundamental step in making shaped holiday cookies. Using a heavy wooden rolling pin ensures that cut cookies bake at a uniform rate, preventing thin edges from scorching in the oven.
History and Mechanics of the Rolling Pin
The modern rolling pin with independent handles and a rotating central cylinder was patented in the late nineteenth century by African American inventor John W. Reed. This design allowed bakers to roll out thick pastry dough smoothly without applying excessive wrist pressure.
