Cups to grams, for your ingredient
A cup of flour and a cup of honey weigh very differently. Pick the ingredient, enter the amount, and read it in any unit.
Weights are typical averages (US cup, 240 ml). Packing and brand change them by a few percent, so for baking a kitchen scale is more exact.
About whole wheat flour
Milled from the whole grain including the bran and germ, so it is coarser, nuttier and absorbs more water.
Measuring tips for whole wheat flour
- Let the dough rest 20 to 30 minutes so the bran softens.
- Replace only a third to half of the white flour at first.
- Store it in the fridge or freezer, because the germ oils can turn rancid.
