Kitchen work surface

[Greysanatomyfan]

So I don’t have the nicest countertops in my kitchen, and I want to bake biscuits that require me to roll out dough. I thought I’d get something like the giant mat that Titli Nihaan uses in most of her videos (the one with potted plants on it as shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqjOuRlnacs#t=37 at 0:30), but I can’t find anything similar in Canada. To be honest, I’m not even sure what to call it, therefore not sure what to search for. Anyway, should I just roll out the dough on my kitchen table? And how should I protect the surface of the table?

I’m sure there is a very obvious solution to this, but I’m having a hard time thinking of one. Help please!

Get a large size wooden cutting board. Use the grooved side for cutting, and noon grooved side for rolling the dough

Get a silicone rolling mat.I have one and I use that om top of my counters for rolling out stuff.It works great and clean up is easy too.Something like this

CHEFS 24x16" Silicone Pastry Mat : Target

Google ‘silicone rolling mats’ and you will be able to know where to find them where you live.

Awesome ideas, thanks all! Also, just in case anyone else is wondering about the same thing, I found glass cutting boards (like this one Amazon.com: Joseph Joseph THST012AS Thin Stripes Worktop Saver, 12 x 16 inches: Cutting Boards: Home & Kitchen) that could also be used for the same purpose. I think I will either get one of these or a silicone baking mat from Ikea.
