4.49 cups of bread flour weighs 20.11 oz. This is based on bread flour having a density of 127g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 4.49 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.49 cups of bread flour
- 1 cup of bread flour = 127g
- 4.49 × 127 = 570.23g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Humidity affects bread flour weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.

The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
