Bread Flour
Gram to US Cup
Understanding Bread Flour Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
To convert 1 gram of bread flour to us cup, we divide by the density (0.55 g/ml). First, 1g ÷ 0.55 g/ml = 1.8ml. Then, dividing by the us cup volume (236.59ml): 1.8ml ÷ 236.59ml = 0 us cup.
Measurement Tip
For accurate bread flour measurements, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it with a straight edge. Never scoop directly from the bag—this compacts the flour and can give you up to 30% more than intended, which will make your baked goods dense and dry.
