1 cup of '00' flour (also called doppio zero flour, pizza flour) weighs about 116 g. So 100 g ≈ 7/8 cup, 200 g ≈ 1 3/4 cups, and 300 g ≈ 2 5/8 cups. Convert any amount between grams, cups, ounces, tablespoons and millilitres with the calculator below.
💡 Tip: The "00" on Italian flour refers to how finely it's milled, not its protein level. Its silky texture is prized for pizza and fresh pasta.

What the '00' actually means
The "00" (doppio zero) on Italian flour refers to how finely it's milled, not its protein content — it's the softest, most talc-like grade. It weighs about 116 g per cup, a little less than all-purpose flour because the fine particles trap more air. There are different protein levels within 00: low-protein 00 is sold for tender fresh pasta, while a higher-protein "00 pizza" flour is built to handle the long fermentation and blistering heat of a Neapolitan oven.
You can swap it for all-purpose in a pinch, but the silky bite that makes 00 prized for pizza and pasta won't be quite the same.
