Metric cups and other cup sizes
The figures above use the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of bread flour weighs about 134 grams. UK recipes that say "cup" usually mean a 250 ml metric cup, which is why weighing in grams is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Measuring bread flour accurately
Bread flour has a higher protein content than all purpose flour, making it slightly denser when scooped. Always spoon it into your measuring cup and level it off rather than dipping the cup directly. For bread recipes where hydration matters greatly, weighing the flour in grams is essential.
