How to measure durum flour
The chart entry is “Durum Flour, 1 cup = 4 3/8 oz = 124 g”. Semolina weighs 163 grams per cup on the chart while durum flour weighs 124 grams. That gap matters for pasta dough, so measure the one your recipe names. The chart’s pasta flour blend sits in between at 145 grams. Spoon the flour into the cup and level it. Half a cup is 62 grams and a quarter cup 31 grams. Bread flour and all-purpose flour are both 120 grams per cup.
Sources: 124 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Durum Flour, 1 cup = 4 3/8 oz = 124 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
