Ingredient questions

Bread flour FAQ.

How many grams are in a cup of bread flour?

King Arthur Baking lists 120g for 1 US cup of bread flour. The chart does not specify a packed or sifted qualifier, so treat it as a practical dry-flour reference.

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?

You can in some recipes, but the protein level and dough strength may change. Use the named flour when the recipe depends on chew or structure.

Should bread flour be packed into a cup?

No. Spoon it lightly into a dry cup and level the top. Packing adds mass and makes a volume conversion less repeatable.
