Rule 2: Weigh Your Flour, Never Scoop It

Описание: How much does a cup of flour weigh, and why does scooping it give you heavy bread? Here is rule two of my father Gaspare's five bread rules.

Hello my friend, it's Turi. I baked bread in Sicily for thirty-five years, and my father Gaspare taught me that good bread starts with the right amount of flour. A cup of all-purpose flour should weigh about one hundred twenty grams. But if you dip the measuring cup straight into the bag, the flour packs down and a single cup can weigh as much as one hundred sixty grams. That is a lot of extra flour, and it is one of the most common reasons home bread comes out heavy and dry. So rule number two is to weigh your flour and never scoop it. A simple kitchen scale does the job, and it is the cheapest way to make your bread more consistent. Keep in mind that bread flour and whole wheat flour weigh a little more per cup than all-purpose flour, so always follow the weight given in your recipe. This is rule two of five, and three more rules are coming, so subscribe if you want to hear every one of them. If you have been searching for how much a cup of flour weighs, how to measure flour for bread, or why your bread is dense, this is the simple answer from my own kitchen.
