Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.72 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour = 125.16g
- 2.72 × 125.16 = 340.44g

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
