King Arthur lists water at 227 g (8 oz) per US cup, and it uses the same weight for milk, buttermilk and yogurt. A level cup of water is the easy benchmark for other liquids: thinner liquids like milk land right next to it, while syrupy ones such as honey or molasses weigh much more. Water temperature barely changes the weight at kitchen scale, so warm water for yeast weighs the same. For bread dough, weighing water on the scale is the simplest way to hit a recipe's hydration exactly.
