How to measure 1/4 cup of bread flour
By weight (most accurate): set your bowl on a kitchen scale, press tare, and add 30 g of bread flour.
By volume: Use a 1/4-cup measure, or 4 level tablespoons.
Bread flour has more protein than all-purpose but weighs about the same by volume, so the two swap cup for cup and gram for gram.
