Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 127g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 381 grams of type 00 flour
  2. 1 cup of type 00 flour = 127g
  3. 381g ÷ 127g/cup = 3 cups

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

For the most consistent results, weigh type 00 flour on a kitchen scale. Volume measurements can vary by 20-30% depending on how the flour is scooped.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

What is a Cup?

A cup is a US customary unit of volume equal to 236.588 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces. It is the most common volume measurement in American recipes. One cup can be divided into 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 3.00 cups, based on type 00 flour having a density of 127g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 127 (grams per cup) to get cups. For 381 grams: 381 ÷ 127 = 3 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh type 00 flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring cup and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off, you will get about 127 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 139.7 to 158.75 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 3.00 cups × 127g/cup = 381g. Or use the Cups to Grams converter.
