Whole Wheat Flour Grams to Cups

One cup of whole wheat flour weighs 120 grams — slightly less than refined all-purpose flour per cup, even though it contains the whole grain, because the bran flakes hold more air.

Whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid than white flour thanks to the bran, so doughs can need a little extra water. Spoon and level as with any flour. Many recipes swap part of the white flour for whole wheat by weight; replacing all of it makes a denser result, so start with half.
