When talking about the pride of Taiwan, what comes to mind? Some might mention film director Ang Lee or baseball star Wang Chien-ming. Now, another name is coming up more and more, and this person has nothing to do with the glamor of Hollywood or professional sports. His name is Wu Pao-chun, and if you want to find him, you should look in the kitchen.
Wu is a baking legend, and he first rose to fame in 2010. It was then that he beat out 23 other competitors from 16 countries at the Bakery World Cup in Paris to earn the title of Master Baker. In the competition, each baker had to bake a loaf of bread that reflected their homeland. Wu's bread, which included local Taiwanese ingredients millet wine, rose petals, and dried lychees, took the top prize. Now, he is rolling in dough in more ways than one, for his Kaohsiung bakery racked up sales of over NT$200 million in 2012. Wu is determined to keep on learning and improving and is looking to earn his master's degree in the near future.

be rolling in dough 代表的意思
本文中 "Now, he is rolling in dough..." 是一個雙關語，一方面表示在『?麵糰』做麵包，另一方面，dough 就是指錢的意思，所以 be rolling in dough 也可表示『賺大錢』。另外，還有同義詞 be rolling in cash。
Mitch is rolling in dough , so he can afford his own jet.
