Whether you are scaling a recipe up, substituting an ingredient, or converting a recipe from metric to US measurements, having an accurate grams-per-cup value for bread flour removes the guesswork from your cooking. Bookmark this page for quick reference whenever bread flour appears in a recipe.
How much does a cup of bread flour weigh?
A standard US cup of bread flour weighs about 136 grams (4.80 ounces). That makes it about 1.1 times heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour, and lighter than a cup of granulated sugar (200 g). This is why a converter that uses the same factor for every ingredient will give wrong answers: bread flour has its own density, and recipes depend on it.

Values are reference weights for level, unpacked measures unless the ingredient is normally packed. Brand, moisture, temperature and how firmly you fill the cup can shift the result by a few percent, so for precision baking weigh bread flour on a kitchen scale and use the cup figure only as a guide. To understand why these numbers differ between ingredients, read our guide on why a cup of flour is not a cup of sugar, or see why weighing beats measuring cups.
