1000 g of bread flour in cups
1000 g ≈ 7.87 cups
That is also 126 tablespoons, at 127 g per US cup.
How to measure it
7¾ cups + 1 tablespoon + 2¾ teaspoons
7.87 cups is a number, not an instruction — there is no 7.87 cup in the drawer. The line above is the same quantity in the sizes you actually own, and following it lands within a teaspoon of 1000 g.
Spoon the bread flour into the cup and level it off. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down; on flour that alone is worth about 20%, which is more than the difference this page is measuring.

Why this number moves
Slightly denser than all-purpose because of its higher protein content. The extra gluten is what gives bread its chew.
This page uses 127 g per US cup. If your recipe came with its own figure, use theirs — internal consistency matters more than which table is right.

Frequently asked questions
How many cups is 1000 g of bread flour?
7.87 cups, which in measuring cups and spoons is 7¾ cups + 1 tablespoon + 2¾ teaspoons. One US cup of bread flour weighs about 127 g.
How do I measure 1000 g of bread flour without scales?
7¾ cups + 1 tablespoon + 2¾ teaspoons. Spoon it in and level the top rather than scooping — scooping compacts bread flour and can add a fifth to the weight.
Is this the same in the UK?
The gram figure is, the cup is not. A US cup is 236.6 ml and the metric cup used in Australia and much of Europe is 250 ml, so a European cup of bread flour weighs about 134 g. These pages use the US cup.
