Convert Cups to Grams: Bread Flour
Convert cups of bread flour to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of bread flour = 130g (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method). Use the table below for fractions from 1/8 cup up to 4 cups. For precision baking, weight measurements in grams are always more reliable than volume measurements in cups, because bread flour density can vary by measuring technique.
Bread Flour Cups to Grams Table
| Cups | Grams |
|---|---|
| 1/8 cup | 16.3g |
| 1/4 cup | 32.5g |
| 1/3 cup | 43.3g |
| 1/2 cup | 65g |
| 2/3 cup | 86.7g |
| 3/4 cup | 97.5g |
| 1 cup | 130g |
| 1 1/4 cups | 162.5g |
| 1 1/2 cups | 195g |
| 2 cups | 260g |
| 3 cups | 390g |
| 4 cups | 520g |
Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Bread flour is slightly denser than all-purpose flour due to higher protein content (12-14% vs 10-12%). 1 cup bread flour = 130g (spooned). Higher gluten protein means denser packing. Best for yeast breads, pizza dough.
About Bread Flour Density
The density of bread flour determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.542g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of bread flour weighs 130g under USDA standard conditions.
Volume measurements can vary by ±10–20% depending on technique (sifted vs. spooned vs. scooped). For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale with gram measurements whenever possible. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) is the reference point for all values on this page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 1 cup of bread flour?
1 cup of bread flour weighs 130 grams (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method, 1 US cup = 240ml).
How many grams is 1/2 cup of bread flour?
1/2 cup of bread flour weighs 65 grams.
How many grams is 1/4 cup of bread flour?
1/4 cup of bread flour weighs 33 grams.
Does measuring technique affect the weight of bread flour?
Yes. Sifted bread flour can weigh up to 20% less than packed or scooped. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) of 130g/cup is the most reliable baseline.
