  1. Start with 1,588 ounces of bread flour
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 1,588 × 28.35 = 45,019.04g
  3. 1 cup of bread flour = 127g
  4. 45,019.04g ÷ 127g/cup = 354.48 cups

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

Understanding the Units

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.

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 354.48 cups, 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.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 127 (grams per cup). For 1,588 ounces: 1,588 × 28.3495 = 45,019.04g, then 45,019.04 ÷ 127 = 354.48 cups.
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 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: 354.48 cups × 127g/cup = 45,019.04g, then 45,019.04g ÷ 28.3495 = 1,588 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
