How do I convert a 500g European bread recipe?

Tips for European recipes:
- Round to 3 3/4 or 4 cups for easier measuring
- European flour may have different protein content
- Adjust water slightly as needed
Why do gram-to-cup conversions vary by brand?
Different brands have different densities due to:
- Milling process: Finer or coarser grind
- Protein content: Affects flour structure
- Wheat variety: Hard vs soft wheat
- Processing: Bleached vs unbleached
King Arthur (127g/cup) is slightly less dense than standard (130g/cup).
Should I sift bread flour before measuring?
Generally NO - bread flour shouldn't be sifted unless recipe specifies.
Why not:
- Sifting reduces weight by 5-10%
- Most bread recipes assume unsifted
- You want the full protein content
Exception: Very old flour with lumps should be sifted.
