Bread Flour: cups to grams
Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose, but its density in the cup is virtually identical, so the same gram figure applies.

Cup standards compared
Convert cooking volumes
The charts above cover weight. If you also need to move between cups, decilitres, millilitres and spoons, this converts any volume:
1 cup (US) in every unit
A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml and a UK tablespoon is larger than a US one — so the system your recipe was written in matters. Pick the matching unit rather than assuming.
Questions
How many grams is 1 cup of bread flour?
One US cup of bread flour weighs 120 grams. That works out to a density of about 0.51 g per mL.
How many cups is 100 g of bread flour?
100 g of bread flour is about 0.83 cups, or roughly 13.3 tablespoons.
Why can’t I convert cups to grams directly?
A cup measures volume and a gram measures weight, so the conversion depends entirely on the ingredient. A cup of bread flour is 120 g, but a cup of honey is 340 g and a cup of cocoa powder is only 84 g.
Does the cup size matter?
Yes. A US customary cup is 236.59 mL, a US legal cup is 240 mL and a metric cup is 250 mL. Using a metric cup for bread flour gives 127 g instead of 120 g — about 6 percent more.
