Working with bread flour

Bread Flour sits in the flours & starches group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. Higher protein flours are slightly denser than all-purpose. Bakers usually weigh bread flour because hydration percentages depend on it.

If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.

Also sold as: strong flour. These names refer to the same product and use the same weight per cup.
