Answer 1

My grandmother never owned a rolling pin. She always used a glass. I remember learning to roll pie dough with my own little jelly jar when I was about 4 years old. We'd save the pie crust trimmings and make tiny cinnamon rolls with them.

Thanks for bringing back those memories. :)

For pie crusts I used to use a drinking glass. I had a 5 inch tall--smooth glass and would use it as a rolling pin. Worked really well.

Use a wine bottle. Lightly flour it just as you would a rolling pin. Of course, you'll have to soak the label off first!

I have used a glass from my cupboard.....a tall one that is all smooth....just flour your hands and rub it on glass (even tho most will fall off!) and then CAREFULLY use it to push your dough out from center. Just remember to change directions as you roll out dough to keep it an even thickness.

you can use a smooth sided glass to roll your pie crust, and bread does not require rolling
