How can I effectively use a rolling pin for baking to achieve the perfect dough consistency?

To effectively use a rolling pin for baking, start by lightly flouring your work surface and the dough. Roll the dough out evenly in all directions, applying gentle pressure to achieve the desired thickness. Rotate the dough periodically to ensure even rolling. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can toughen the dough. Aim for a smooth and uniform consistency throughout.
