Conversion formulas
Temperature: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32; reverse °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. Weight: 1 ounce ≈ 28.35 g, 1 g ≈ 0.035 oz.
Common oven settings
Conversions for the temperatures most often marked on an oven dial. This is just a number conversion — check the exact bake setting in the recipe.

Why baking is measured in grams
Bread is about proportions, and proportions only hold reliably on weight. Volume measures (cups, spoons) depend on grind, moisture and how tightly things are packed, so the same “cup of flour” weighs differently every time. A kitchen scale removes that uncertainty: a formula in grams repeats exactly, and results can be compared from bake to bake. Imperial units are only needed when a recipe comes from an ounces-and-Fahrenheit source — this converter turns them into metric so you can work in grams.
FAQ
Why are recipes here in grams, not cups?
Weight is reproducible; volume is not. The same cup of flour weighs differently depending on how packed and how moist the flour is. A kitchen scale removes that error, so every formula here is in grams.
How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit by hand?
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32. Reverse: °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. For example, 230 °C = 230 × 9/5 + 32 = 446 °F.
How many grams are in one ounce?
One international (avoirdupois) ounce ≈ 28.35 g. Reverse: 1 g ≈ 0.035 oz.
Does the converter store my values?
No. The conversion runs right in your browser; nothing is sent to a server or stored.
