Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 127g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 39.69 grams of type 00 flour
  2. 1 cup of type 00 flour = 127g
  3. 39.69g ÷ 127g/cup = 0.31 cups × 16 = 5.00 tablespoons

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

Measuring Tip

Humidity affects type 00 flour weight. In humid conditions, flour absorbs moisture and weighs more per cup. Store it in an airtight container for consistent results.

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?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 5.00 tbsp, 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, then multiply by 16 to get tablespoons. For 39.69 grams: 39.69 ÷ 127 = 0.31 cups × 16 = 5.00 tbsp.
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 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: 5.00 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.31252 cups, then 0.31252 × 127g/cup = 39.69g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
