Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 127g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 47.63 grams of bread flour
  2. 1 cup of bread flour = 127g
  3. 47.63g ÷ 127g/cup = 0.38 cups × 16 = 6.00 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

What is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 6.00 tbsp, based on bread 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, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 47.63 grams: 47.63 ÷ 127 = 0.38 cups × 16 = 6.00 tbsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh bread flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring spoon 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: 6.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.375039 cups, then 0.375039 × 127g/cup = 47.63g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
