As a relatively new sourdough baker, the TPL membership has proven to be an invaluable component of my growth, especially the active community on Discord. Having a group of fellow sourdough enthusiasts, including Maurizio himself, with whom to troubleshoot, share inspiration and encouragement, and discuss all things sourdough (and beyond) has been one of the best parts of my sourdough journey!

I have been baking sourdough bread for more than 15 years and have looked at many resources and discussion groups online over that time. I became a member several months ago and will remain one because this community is absolutely unique. Maurizio leads it and supports the members in an unprecedented way for someone of his stature in the culinary world. Frankly, it is just plain fun to be a part of it. This community is a family, and Maurizio and the members work hard to keep it that way. I urge bakers at all levels of experience to try this one out. It is my sourdough home on the web.

Once just a novice in the world of sourdough, I embarked on a flavorful journey within our vibrant community. Through shared knowledge and invaluable advice, I've transformed my baking skills from producing mere frisbee-like loaves to crafting artisanal masterpieces that not only look but also taste better than those from my local bakery. This community has become a haven for passionate bakers worldwide, offering a unique opportunity to engage with fellow enthusiasts from around the globe. Discover the joy of baking and connect with like-minded individuals to exchange thoughts, not only on bread but also on a diverse range of topics!

Joining the TPL member community was a great decision. I’ve learned so much from the other members. It’s like instantly gaining dozens of new friends all over the world. Whether you want to level up your bread game or connect with great humans who share your baking passion, this is hands-down the best community to join.

I started working with sourdough during the pandemic. I was not thinking I would be in for the long haul, but here I am in 2023, and I can’t imagine not having amazing healthy bread every week. I came across Maurizio’s site by accident; he taught me the care and feeding of my starter which I call “Karen” and in turn she never disappoints. The Perfect Loaf has been my ONLY go-to site. The recipes and instructional content are easy to understand and always 100% accurate. I have reached out to Maurizio a few times – once to ask about airline travel with Karen as I was heading to Texas from Alberta, Canada and needed to take her. Thanks for the note on “make sure to label your box of starter and flour with “Sourdough” so if they inspect your luggage, the airlines will know what that is! Thanks, Maurizio, for all your tools, tips and tricks, and I would be lost if you were not there for me.
