Understanding Flour Conversion

Converting cups of flour to grams is essential for precise baking, especially when following recipes from different regions. One cup of all-purpose flour typically weighs 120 grams, but this can vary based on several factors:

Common Flour Types and Their Weight per Cup:

  • All-Purpose Flour: 120 grams
  • Bread Flour: 127 grams
  • Whole Wheat Flour: 130 grams
  • Cake Flour: 114 grams
  • Pastry Flour: 118 grams

Why Use Weight Instead of Volume?

Professional bakers prefer measuring flour by weight (grams) rather than volume (cups) because:

  • More accurate measurements
  • Consistent results in recipes
  • Eliminates variations from flour compression
  • Better control over final product texture
