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.
