Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 127g/cup = cups
  1. Start with 47.98 ounces of bread flour
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 47.98 × 28.35 = 1,360.21g
  3. 1 cup of bread flour = 127g
  4. 1,360.21g ÷ 127g/cup = 10.71 cups

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.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

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 10.71 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 47.98 ounces: 47.98 × 28.3495 = 1,360.21g, then 1,360.21 ÷ 127 = 10.71 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: 10.71 cups × 127g/cup = 1,360.21g, then 1,360.21g ÷ 28.3495 = 47.98 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
