  Dear Maurizio, I  am not a beginner in sourdough, but you have managed to open  some unknown details  and tips for me. I have bought your book and this is the only book about baking in my life. I did it as a thanks to you because you are not only very pleasant and talented person, but also very generous. You a sharing you experience with us for free very long time.

  I have to Thank Maurizio. He got me hooked on baking sour dough bread. I read a blog of his about milling wheat berries in the morning. He poetically captured the moment by somehow making me want to smell the milling of the wheat berries. I bought a Mock Mill and now go through 25lb of central milling flour every few months. I am on a Khorasan wheat berry kick at the moment. When you make a bread and your 8 year old and his friends fight over the butt end crusts, I think you have a winner.

  I am pretty new to sourdough baking and this is the third Youtuber's recipe I tried. First one took too long to do, results were not that bad, second was too short but results were bad, and then there's The Perfect Loaf that's just the right amount of time and the most awesome results!!! The channel name did not disappoint!  I used it for my 4th and 5th bake/loaves and both times yielded fantastic results! The crumb is airy, the crust is thin and crispy, it's just very fascinating how you can have bread that's like that using just flour, water, and salt (oh and a lot of patience of course). It's easy to be intimidated with the high hydration especially if you're new, but I just dove right in cause in my mind if I fail I can just keep trying, and I'm so glad I did. It was hard for sure but the reward was great. So yeah, I'm just here to thank you, Maurizio because I can now make artisan level loaf at home and will most likely never buy bread anymore outside. I found something good so I'll just stick to this recipe moving forward. No need to keep looking. 😊😊😊💯💯💯

  I've watched tons of sourdough videos and this is by far the best one yet. Thank you for making a simple video from beginning to end.

  Mauricio, I LOVE your sourdough book and videos! I’ve been making your beginner sourdough and walnut cranberry loaves every week for over a year now. Thanks to your videos and detailed instructions, the loaves have improved and are pretty close to perfect! I always give one of the two loaves I bake to a neighbor or friend, and they agree that it is the best sourdough bread ever. Thank you for all the hard work you have done to create the best sourdough bread and for sharing your recipes and making videos that simplify the process for new bread bakers! (We also love your discard recipes!!)

  his kitchen must be pretty warm since the bulk fermentation is only 4 hours for a 16% inoculation. usually my dough takes 6-8 hours at 20% inoculation to fully rise so keep in mind your kitchen may be colder or warmer and don’t be afraid to let it ferment for longer if u don’t see enough bubbles or rise.

  Thanks for your book, PL community and videos, Maurizio. &nbsp;Can&apos;t wait to try all your recipes. My 1st Basic Sourdough turned out well-not perfect but delicious. My 8yr old neighbor has been assisting me &amp; worked with me to build a strong starter from Day 1. It took us 17 days to establish it and then another week to make sure it was strong..<br> Years ago, I used to bake a lot and used sourdough but this is a more intensive journey and I am loving it. Never made a successful starter from scratch before. It is well worth the effort.

  I love how you gave all the valuable instructions! You made me shift my focus towards seeing what my dough needs rather than applying a recipe measures strictly. I have been able to have my first perfect dough consistency after many failed tries. Thank you 💙💙💙
