The Conversions of Ingredients
Conversions of Basic Ingredients from Cups to Grams & ml:
When we want to make a recipe, it´s necessary to weigh or measure the
ingredients we´ll use! For the better approach to everyday cooking, here are the
conversions of basic kitchen ingredients from cups and tablespoons, teaspoons to
grams and ml. I´ll try to categorize them and make them as readable and
understandable as possible! So, the tablets and the categories below give more
information about each ingredient! Let´s start!

Notes: 1 cup of non-sifted flour= 140 grams. First, you should sift the flour (such
as the most of the powders) and then measure it! 1 cup of sifted flour= 1 cup
non-sifted flour minus 1 & ½ tbsps.
Dry yeast & fresh yeast= 1/3. It means, when a recipe writes for example 10 gr of
dry yeast (1 pack), you´ll add 30 gr of fresh yeast!
Enjoy!
