Bread Flour
Gram to Metric Cup
Understanding Bread Flour Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
To convert 1 gram of bread flour to metric cup, we divide by the density (0.55 g/ml). First, 1g ÷ 0.55 g/ml = 1.8ml. Then, dividing by the metric cup volume (250ml): 1.8ml ÷ 250ml = 0 metric cup.
Measurement Tip
For accurate bread flour measurements, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it with a straight edge. Never scoop directly from the bag—this compacts the flour and can give you up to 30% more than intended, which will make your baked goods dense and dry.
About Our Data
The density value of 0.55 g/ml for bread flour is from the USDA FoodData Central database (ID: 168896). This measurement was taken with bread flour spooned into the measuring cup and leveled. Different measurement methods affect the density: sifted (0.47 g/ml), packed (0.65 g/ml).
Frequently Asked Questions

For accurate bread flour measurement, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Don't scoop directly from the bag, as this compacts the flour and gives you more than intended.
Bread Flour has a density of 0.55 g/ml, meaning each milliliter weighs 0.55 grams. Different ingredients have different densities—for example, flour is lighter than sugar—which is why each needs its own conversion factor.
