Mission - Objective of the project
Il Forum of Pan Brioche was born to be space for comparison among users subscribed to Pan Brioche. It aims to become a place for meeting, exchanging and studying the topics of sourdough and bread-making, with particular reference to the aspects already covered on the pages of Pan Brioche, but also to those still unpublished or touched only superficially.
Il Forum of Pan Brioche aims to be the place of reference for those who love research, technical understanding of matter and for those who have desire to share their experience with sourdough starter and doughs, regardless of the level of preparation.
Il Forum of Pan Brioche aims to become a community in which all members make available their knowledge and their not knowing (because doubts and errors are also part of the growth process) as a contribution to collective growth.
Il Forum of Pan Brioche wants to be a place devoid of secrets, jealousies and protagonism.
