What Is the Ingredient Converter?

Baking recipes from different sources use different units — some list flour in cups, others in grams, and older recipes call for tablespoons of yeast or ounces of butter. DoughRise's free Ingredient Converter translates between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, grams, and ounces for over 50 common baking ingredients. Because ingredient density varies so much, accurate volume-to-weight conversions require ingredient-specific data — not a generic formula.

Why Weight Beats Volume in Baking

A cup of all-purpose flour can weigh anywhere from 120g (spooned and levelled) to 165g (scooped and packed). That 38% range makes a significant difference in bread texture and hydration. Baking by weight eliminates this variable entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many grams is 1 cup of flour?

For bread flour, 1 cup is approximately 130g when spooned and levelled. All-purpose flour is slightly lighter at around 125g. Always weigh rather than measure by volume for consistent baking results.

How much does a tablespoon of yeast weigh?

One tablespoon of instant yeast weighs approximately 9g. Active dry yeast is slightly lighter at about 8g per tablespoon.

What's the difference between fluid ounces and weight ounces?

Fluid ounces measure volume; weight ounces measure mass. For water they're nearly equivalent (1 fl oz = 28.4g), but for other ingredients they differ significantly. Specify which you're using in the converter.
