About teaspoons All-Purpose Flour (teaspoons)
Teaspoons of All-Purpose Flour. Measured by US teaspoon (= 5 mL = 1/3 US tablespoon = 1/48 US cup per FDA 21 CFR 101.9). The teaspoon is the standard US measure for small dry ingredients (salt, sugar, baking powder, spices) + small liquid amounts (vanilla extract, lemon juice). Common multiples: 1/4 tsp (1.25 mL), 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL), 1 tsp (5 mL). 'Heaping teaspoon' is informally ~50% more than level (can vary widely). Most US measuring-spoon sets include 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 1 tablespoon (= 3 tsp) increments. All-purpose flour (AP flour) is wheat flour with moderate protein content (10-12% per General Mills, King Arthur, Pillsbury, Gold Medal milling specs) — the workhorse of American home baking, suitable for cookies, quick breads, pancakes, pie crusts, and most savory cooking. Milled from a blend of hard and soft wheat varieties to balance gluten development. Density ~0.529 g/mL (1 cup = 125 g per King Arthur Baking standard; FDA RACC nutrient declaration label uses 30 g serving). Bleached AP flour (chemically treated with chlorine gas, benzoyl peroxide, or potassium bromate) is the US norm; unbleached AP is preferred for artisan baking, sourdough starter feeding, and yeasted breads. European 'plain flour' Type 405 (Germany) or 00 (Italy) is roughly equivalent. Storage: airtight container, 6-12 months pantry life, freezer-safe for whole-wheat varieties. Density: 0.529 g/mL (used to convert volume measurements to mass).
About grams All-Purpose Flour (grams)
Grams of All-Purpose Flour. Measured by mass in grams (g) — the metric base mass unit used in scientific + international + professional baking contexts. Mass measurement is more accurate than volume measurement because it eliminates packing-density variation (1 cup of flour can vary 10-20% by mass depending on aerated-vs-packed scoop technique). Most modern baking + pastry recipes from professional pastry chefs (Sébastien Bruno, Pierre Hermé, Stella Parks 'BraveTart', Cook's Illustrated) specify gram measurements. A small digital kitchen scale (~$15-30) provides 1-g resolution.
