Natural Beechwood Cylindrical Rolling Pin

This is a solid, straight cylinder of beechwood, 34cm long and 4.3cm in diameter, with 33cm of useable rolling length, made in Italy. It is a plain pin with no handles: you roll with your palms on the wood itself, which lets you feel the thickness of the dough and put pressure exactly where you want it. It suits pasta sheets, pastry, bread dough and biscuits.

Who It Suits and Why Choose It

Choose this pin if you want one all-round pin for a home kitchen and have a standard worktop or board. At 33cm it is long enough to roll a sheet of fresh pasta by hand, and short enough to store in a drawer. It is the cheaper, simpler option if you do not need a choice of lengths.

If you want a choice of length, from 29cm to 70cm, look at the solid beechwood rolling pins, which come in six sizes and have handles. If you want the pin to spin as you push, the revolving beechwood rolling pin does that. The tapered rolling pin is 50cm long and a traditional choice for rolling pizza dough and hand-made pasta sheets. To cut spaghetti, tagliatelle, fettuccine or pappardelle as you roll, use a pasta cutter rolling pin.

Looking After It

Wash it by hand and do not leave it in water or put it in the dishwasher. The rolling pin storage bag keeps a pin clean between uses.
