Metric measuring tools (cups, spoons and weighing scales) for
accuracy in producing a 1.25kg (1250g), 1 kg (1000g) or 750g
or 500g loaf of bread.
As a general guide:
1 cup bread flour = 150g
1 cup whole wheat flour = 150g
1 cup all purpose flour = 150g
1 tablespoon butter = 15g
2 tablespoons butter = 30g
¼ cup butter = 65g
½ cup butter = 125g
1 cup granulated sugar = 250g
1 tablespoon granulated sugar = 20g
1 cup brown sugar = 170g
1 tablespoon brown sugar = 15g
1 cup chopped nuts = 125g
1 cup fruits = 150g
1 cup chocolate chips = 155g
