Measuring 225g of Bread Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of bread flour weighs 127g when measured spooned & leveled, 225 Grams (225g) translates to 1.77 US cups (1 ¾ cups + 1 tsp). By contrast, using the scooped from bag measure (148g/cup — a 21g per-cup shift), 225g occupies 1 ½ cups + 1 tsp (1.52 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ¾ cups + 1 tsp (28.35 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.
