How to measure rye flour accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh rye flour on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of rye flour weighs about 102 grams (3.6 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts rye flour and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Rye dough is stickier and slacker than wheat dough; resist adding too much extra flour or the loaf turns out heavy.
