Measuring 175g of Bread Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of bread flour weighs 127g when measured spooned & leveled, 175 Grams (175g) translates to 1.38 US cups (1 ⅓ cups + 2 ¼ tsp). By contrast, using the scooped from bag measure (148g/cup — a 21g per-cup shift), 175g occupies 1 cup + 2 tbsp + 2 ¾ tsp (1.18 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ⅓ cups + 2 ¼ tsp (22.05 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Spoon into cup and level flat. Its 12-14% protein content yields dense granules that settle rapidly during storage.
