Convert volumes of bread flour measured in metric cups (250ml) to its approximate weight in metric grams (g) and imperial/US ounces (oz). Bread flour is typically heavier by volume than all-purpose flour.

2/3 Metric Cup
90-96 g
3.17-3.39 oz
3/4 Metric Cup
101-108 g

Important Considerations for Bread Flour:
The weight of 1 Metric Cup (250ml) of bread flour is often cited around **135-140 grams per metric cup** (approx. 4.76-4.94 ounces) when using the "spoon and level" method.
Bread flour has a higher protein content, which can contribute to a slightly higher density compared to all-purpose flour.
For consistent bread making, **measuring bread flour by weight (grams or ounces) with a kitchen scale is highly recommended.** This ensures accurate flour-to-liquid ratios, critical for dough development.
