A Small Tool for Big Culinary Creativity

One day, while indulging in my love for baking, I realized I urgently needed a Lattice Roller Cutter — a tool for creating a lattice pattern from dough. It’s a real gem for culinary enthusiasts. While I could have bought one , I decided not to wait and printed it on a 3D printer instead. Honestly, when making Viennese cookies and needing grated dough on top, the usual process involves freezing the dough and then grating it. But I often lacked the patience to freeze it to the right texture, and my grating was never even. The lattice, on the other hand, was the perfect solution.

 

The Lattice Roller Cutter is a simple yet functional tool that transforms any kitchen into a mini bakery. A roller with blades glides over the dough, creating a perfect grid that can be stretched and placed over a pie on a baking sheet. This lattice is great not only for sweet treats like Viennese cookies or jam-filled pies but also for savory dishes such as meat pies or puff pastry baskets with cheese.

 

How to Assemble a Lattice Roller Cutter

 

The tool consists of five main components:

  • Three handle elements
  • Bladed rollers (26 pieces plus one end roller and a starting washer)
  • A rotation axis (an M4 threaded rod)
  • Butterfly or cap nuts, along with nylon M4 washers

Assembly is straightforward: the roller blades are slotted together, secured with the rod, and fixed in place. You’ll also need four M3 screws (10 mm in length) for the handle. The entire process takes just a few minutes, and the tool is ready to use.

I decided to test the new roller on a classic recipe: Viennese cookies with a lattice top. Here’s my tried-and-true recipe:

 

Ingredients:

  • 500 g thick jam (e.g., blackcurrant or plum)
  • 275 g flour4 egg yolks or 2 whole eggs
  • 120 g butter (or substitute with vegetable oil)
  • 120 g powdered sugar
  • 10 g vanilla sugar
  • A pinch of salt and 1/5 tsp baking soda

Instructions:

  1. Melt the butter and let it cool.
  2. Beat the yolks with powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla sugar until fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the butter, mix in the flour and baking soda, and knead a soft dough.
  4. Divide the dough into two parts in a 2:1 ratio: roll out one part for the base and use the other for the lattice.
  5. Place the base into a baking form, spread with jam, and top with a lattice made using the Lattice Roller Cutter.
  6. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 35 minutes until golden brown.

With a Lattice Roller Cutter, baking becomes faster and more fun. The dough lattice looks flawless and adds an aesthetic touch to homemade dishes.Beyond classic pies, you can use it to create tartlets, bread decorations, or even savory turnovers.

This tool might not be a groundbreaking invention, but it undoubtedly makes life easier for those who appreciate delicious and beautiful creations.

 

Most importantly, it turns the process into an engaging and inspiring experience. After all, the kitchen is a place where anyone can become an artist.

M3 screws for the handle are loose and do not actually thread into the main handle part. What size did you mean?

Replying to @perinski :
OK. Assembly instructions with pictures would help. I didn't realize I needed the melt-in nuts (but have some).

how long is does the threaded rod need to be? one nylon washer on each end?

Yes, the washer is nylon. There are two of them inside, separating the handle from the roller. As for the length of the pin, I just inserted it, measured by eye, and cut off the excess without taking any precise measurements. Its exact length didn’t concern me. After all, this isn’t some kind of device; it’s just a kitchen utensil, a tool that doesn’t require precision.
