How to convert ounces of bread flour to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 16 oz = 454 g. One US cup of bread flour weighs 127 g, so 454 ÷ 127 = 3.57 cups.
Spoon flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30% more.
