Help With the Flour You Have

You've got a recipe and a different flour in the cupboard. Here's help working out a starting amount and whether you'll need a binder.

Choose a Tool for Your Baking Question

For a single flour amount, use the Flour Converter. Paste a whole ingredient list into the Recipe Converter, or use a troubleshooter when you're trying to work out what went wrong.

You can compare gluten-free flours or start with a wheat recipe. Yeast bread and flours used in small shares need particular care: read the result's guidance before you mix.

Each flour has a weight per cup and a swap estimate. To see the arithmetic and where those estimates come from, read the Methodology page.

If You Are New to Flour Swaps

Start with the flour and amount your recipe calls for. The converter shows an estimate for your replacement flour and flags swaps that need blend guidance or a different recipe. If you have celiac disease, check the current package and manufacturer directly; a flour profile cannot certify your bag.

Already bake gluten-free? Compare a flour you know with the replacement you're considering, then use your recipe and the package directions to plan the swap.

How the Estimates Work

Weights per cup and binder amounts come from the flour profiles. Most swap factors are estimates, and the source detail varies. You can follow the calculation on the Methodology page.

The converter works out a replacement volume, then uses that flour's weight per cup to calculate grams. Weigh it, and you can repeat the amount without wondering how tightly you packed the cup.

Binder estimates scale with the replacement flour amount and type of bake. Blends that already contain binder get no extra dose. Before adding gum, look at the package ingredients and any binder your recipe already uses.

Does Your Package Say Something Different?

Send the flour name and the package detail that differs, with a photo or source link if you have one. For a calculation problem, include both flours, the amount and your type of bake so we can reproduce it.
