Baking should be joyful, not frustrating. But if you’ve ever tried to roll out dough on a floured surface, you know how quickly it can turn into chaos. One minute you're happily prepping your pie crust, and the next, it looks like a flour bomb exploded. Flour ends up everywhere—all over your counters, your floor, even your clothes. And the worst part is that a good chunk of that flour gets wasted. What should be a simple task often turns into a cleanup project and, suddenly, baking doesn’t feel so fun anymore.That’s why I was absolutely stunned when I saw a simple yet brilliant hack from content creator Brianna Marie (@mriannabitchell) on Instagram. It made me stop mid-scroll and rethink everything I knew about flouring a surface because she stores her flour in an old seasoning shaker. That’s it—just a clean, empty spice bottle repurposed in the smartest way possible. Here's what you need to know to change your baking life ASAP.Related: We Baked Cookies With 10 Different All-Purpose Flours and the Winner Won By a Landslide??

Marie fills the spice jar with flour and uses it like a little flour wand, shaking a light, even dusting onto her countertop or rolling pin. No more dipping your hands into a flour container or fumbling with a scoop. No more dumping too much flour and brushing half of it into the sink. With just a few easy shakes, you get exactly the amount you need right where you need it.It’s such a small shift that it almost feels too simple to matter, but it really changes the whole baking experience. Suddenly, rolling out dough becomes neater, more efficient and less stressful. When I’m making cookies, biscuits or pie crusts, I can now dust my surface, rolling pin or even the dough itself with precision and not deal with clumps, clouds and waste. It keeps my hands cleaner, my workspace tidier and my stash of flour untouched by spoons or fingers.I also love the practical side of this hack. Seasoning shakers are compact and easy to store, making them perfect for small kitchens or baking drawers. I keep mine in a cabinet right next to my mixing bowls, so it’s always within arm’s reach. You can even go the extra mile and make a few jars, like one for all-purpose flour, another for gluten-free flour, if you're like me and need to avoid gluten.Related: I Baked Cookies With 12 Different Butters and You Can Buy the Winner at Walmart
Make It Your Own: Flour Shaker Variations
Once you try this, you’ll never want to go back, but there are a few ways to customize this hack to suit your style.
For one, you can use a mesh-topped shaker, which is great for lighter dusting, especially if you’re working with delicate dough or finishing with powdered sugar.
Don't want to save a spice jar? Poke holes in the lid of a mason jar for a rustic solution that works just as well.
This tiny tweak doesn’t just reduce the mess, it can actually bring back the joy of baking. Instead of getting frustrated by the flour storm, you’ll feel more in control, more efficient and maybe even a little bit clever. And really, isn’t that what great kitchen hacks are all about?
