Measuring 4 oz of Whole Wheat Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of whole wheat flour weighs 113g when measured spooned & leveled, 4 Ounces (113.4g) translates to 1.00 US cups (1 cup). By contrast, using the scooped measure (135g/cup — a 22g per-cup shift), 4 oz occupies ¾ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp (0.84 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 cup (16.06 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Fluff vigorously before measuring. The coarse bran flakes settle rapidly to the bottom of the canister over time.
