How Much Is 8.7 Tablespoons of Bread Flour in Grams?
8.7 tablespoons of bread flour equals 69.06 g. Bread flour has a density of 127g per cup (7.94g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 8.7 tablespoons of honey would be 184.87 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.7 tablespoons of bread flour
- 1 tablespoon of bread flour = 7.94g
- 8.7 × 7.94 = 69.06g
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 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.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
