Volume To Weight Conversion Estimate I understand that there is no precise answer to my question, because a dry powder, such as flour will vary on weight depending on it's compaction and humidity, but I'm wondering if anyone can give me a close approximation of how much a cup of flour weighs? My new bread machine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, and I need to buy some ingredients to test it out. Since I do not go to the store often, I need enough to make at least a dozen loaves, perhaps more, but don't know how much to buy. | My System Specs |

Thanks, those values don't work well in my American set of weights and measurement, but in your link, I found that one cup = .27 lbs, so a 10 lb bag of flour should provide for ~ 37 loaves of bread, which would be plenty. I think that rye flour is somewhat heavier, but it should still work out close enough. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY OS W7x64 Pro, SuSe 12.1/** W7 x64 Pro, XP MCE CPU Phenom II 1090T w/Noctua NH-D14 /**4400+ X2 w/CM Hyper TX 3 Motherboard ASRock 890FX Deluxe 4/**A8N-SLI Memory 2 x 2GB Patriot PGS34g1600LLKA/**4x1GB Corsair VS Graphics Card EVGA GTX460 SC/**EVGA 8800GTS Sound Card Asus Xonar D2X/**Xonar D1 Monitor(s) Displays Acer X233H, Dell E152FPc /**LG M237-WD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 & 1024x768/**1980x1080 Keyboard Logitech Media USB/**Saitek Eclipse Mouse Cordless Trackman Wheel/**Ditto PSU CM RS600 w/ APC BX1000G/**Antec 500 TP w/ APC BX1000 Case HAF922/**Antec 1040IIB Cooling 3x200mm, 1x140 and 1x120mm/**5x80mm fans Hard Drives WDC 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, 500GB,Seagate 500GB , Maxtor 80GB /**500GB Seagate & WDC 1TB Black Internet Speed 3.3Mbps Other Info SB 560 5.1 w/ Sennheiser RS140/**Creative T20 speakers, Dvico FusionHDTV7 Gold RT, Cisco E3000, HP 5510V AIO, Linksys E3000, Belkin F5U237 hub and **F5D8055 adapter
