In short
One us cup of bread flour is 127 gram. Going the other way, one gram is 0.0078740157 us cup. That works out at 2 us cup = 254 gram and 4 = 508. The figure comes from bread flour weighing 127 g per US cup — a generic cups-to-grams converter assumes water and will give you the wrong answer here, because volume to weight depends entirely on what is in the cup.

About the Cups to Grams — Bread Flour
Bread flour is milled from harder wheat and holds more protein, so it packs very slightly denser than plain flour. The 2 g difference per cup is negligible; the protein difference is not, and swapping one for the other changes the crumb far more than the weight ever will. Typical protein content is 12–14%, against 10–12% for all-purpose. The figure this page works from is 127 g per US cup, the spooned-and-levelled weight recorded by King Arthur Baking and the USDA food database. Converting us cup to gram for bread flour, the amounts that come up most often are: 1/4 us cup = 31.8 gram; 1/3 us cup = 42.3 gram; 1/2 us cup = 63.5 gram; 2/3 us cup = 84.7 gram; 3/4 us cup = 95.3 gram; 1 us cup = 127 gram; 1 1/2 us cup = 191 gram; 2 us cup = 254 gram; 3 us cup = 381 gram.
What people use it for
- Following a US recipe with a kitchen scale instead of cup measures.
- Scaling a recipe up or down without compounding measuring error.
- Converting a European recipe written in grams into cups.

The maths behind it
This tool uses gram = us cup × 127, derived from bread flour weighing 127 g per US cup. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.
Bread flour is milled from harder wheat and holds more protein, so it packs very slightly denser than plain flour. The 2 g difference per cup is negligible; the protein difference is not, and swapping one for the other changes the crumb far more than the weight ever will.
Where this tool stops
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent.
Frequently asked questions
Can I substitute bread flour for all-purpose by weight?
Yes, gram for gram, and the weight difference is small enough to ignore. What changes is gluten development: bread flour gives a chewier crumb and a stronger rise, which is welcome in bread and unwelcome in a delicate cake.
Why does a cup of bread flour not weigh the same as a cup of water?
Because a cup measures volume and a scale measures weight, and the two only agree for water. Bread flour has its own density — 127 g per US cup — so any generic volume converter gives the wrong answer here.
How much does the way I fill the cup matter?
A great deal. Bread flour compacts just like plain flour, so a scooped cup can run 20% over the 127 g used here. It matters more in bread than almost anywhere else, because an over-floured dough is stiff, slow to rise and dry in the crumb — and the fix is a scale rather than a lighter hand.
Is a US cup the same as a UK or metric cup?
No. A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml and an old UK cup is 284 ml. These pages use the US cup, because that is what US recipes mean.

Where does the Cups to Grams — Bread Flour stop being reliable?
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent. Knowing where a tool stops being trustworthy matters more than the cases where it works.
