why does dough stick to my rolling pin?

Question

I've tried wooden rolling pins, marble rolling pins, rolling pins filled with ice water, and my dough still sticks. I chill my dough.

Answer 1

Sprinkle flour over your dough. Take two sheets of wax paper, plastic saran wrap if you don't have waxed paper [ I like wax the best]. Put one sheet of plastic or paper under your dough, sprinkle flour on bottom sheet.Place dough on bottom sheet, sprinkle flour on top of dough, place second sheet on top. Roll out dough. Turn the whole thing over. Peel off the bottom sheet which is now the top sheet. Sprinkle dough with flour again. Put sheet back on top of dough, roll again. Finished. No sticking to rolling pin.

Answer 2

Because flour and water make a paste if you don't add extra flour to the pin or the dough it will stick to the rolling pin.

Answer 3

Try putting flour on the rolling pin. If you're using a wooden one, use mineral oil on it occasionally. But flour helps the dough not to stick

Answer 4

The gluten from your dough is what is causing it to stick to your rolling pin. Try dusting your rolling pin and the top of your dough with flour. Just dusting the rolling pin itself may not work.
