Quick Answer
One US cup of bread flour weighs about 127 grams. That works out to 7.94 g per tablespoon and 2.65 g per teaspoon. Heavier protein content makes it slightly denser than all-purpose. Weights vary slightly by brand, moisture, and how tightly you pack - for precise baking, a kitchen scale beats volume measures.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams in 1 cup of bread flour?
About 127 grams, scoop-and-level for dry ingredients. Heavier protein content makes it slightly denser than all-purpose.
How many grams in a tablespoon of bread flour?
One US tablespoon (15 mL) of bread flour is about 7.94 grams. A teaspoon is 2.65 g.
Why does bread flour weigh more (or less) than water?
Dry ingredients are weighed by how they pack into the cup volume. Bread Flour has an apparent density of about 0.54 g/mL - lighter than water - depending on particle size and air gaps.
How many cups is 100 g of bread flour?
100 g ÷ 127 g/cup ≈ 0.79 cups - about a little less than a full cup. The reverse table on this page covers 25-1000 g.
Should I weigh or measure by volume?
Weighing is more accurate - volume measures vary with how you scoop, pack, and level, and brands differ by 5-15%. For cookies and cakes where ratios matter, grams are the professional standard. The tables here convert either direction.
