For even cooking, and you don't have to use a rolling pin, you may use a smooth jar.
more info:
Pie dough is rolled flat to make pie crust. It is theoretically possible to bake pie dough without rolling, but it would not be a pie crust, but some sort of lumpy, unevenly cooked biscuit.
To get all the air bubbles out. It allows even cooking. Don't roll out the dough air bubbles will get too hot and explode.
If your pie dough splits and is not cohesive more shortening or water will bind it for rolling pie dough.
A rolling pin is a rod (usually wooden) that is used to prepare food. It is most common for flattening dough. For example, pie dough is usually made by taking the ball of dough and flattening it with a rolling pin into a crust. It sometimes has small handles at the end, which you hold while you press down the rod on the food you are trying to flatten. You then "roll" the pin back and forth until your object is flattened to your liking.
A rolling pin is a cylinder shaped kitchen utensil used for rolling dough for foods, such as biscuits, pasta, pie shells and for cutting cookies.
A rolling pin allows you to roll dough or crust evenly when making pie crust, cut cookies and other things that need a thin flat shape.

If flaky pie dough is mixed too much after adding water, it can result in the development of too much gluten in the dough. This can make the dough tough and chewy rather than flaky and tender. It is important to mix the dough just enough to bring it together and avoid overworking it.
The type of pan is unlikely to effect the nature of the pie crust. For a light delicate crust, one must use the correct proportions of flour, fat and water in the dough, and handle the dough as little as possible when rolling out.
No. A single pie crust should be rolled and cut to match your pie plate by turning the pie plate upside down over the dough, then cutting away excess dough about 1/2 - 3/4 inches beyond the outside edge of the overturned pie plate. Push away excess dough and bring your pie plate back to its upright position on your work surface. Lightly dust the remaining dough so that it will not stick to the plate or rolling pin, and then roll the dough onto the rolling pin you used earlier. Place the edge that is hanging out on this roll on the rolling pin against the pie plate leaving 1/2 - 3/4 inch depending on the thickness of the dough...if the dough has been rolled very thin then give yourself the extra 1/4 inch to prevent tearing of the dough as you unroll the rest of the dough onto the top of the pie plate. Make sure the flour-added side is facing down. Allow the dough to begin to sag and then help gravity by gently using fingers to push ever so lightly (to prevent tearing) and fit the dough to the shape of the plate. Along the ridge of the plate you can do many artistic decorations or simply use the back of a fork to press down the dough so that it will not slip during cooking. Then fill with your pumpkin pie recipe filling...I recommend the recipe on the back of the most popular canned pumpkin in the US. I have used it many times and it has always done well. Pre-heat oven as the recipe states and cook according to directions or until center of pumpkin mixture is set when pie plate is "jiggled" and the center no longer looks like a liquid. Enjoy your pie!
