Deli special

I have got your pastrami & Swiss on rye right here.

That sandwich really made me want to be in NY again! But the bread is the star of the show. Looks like the real deal.

Apologies if you have already posted it, but would be great to have the recipe. Been trying to make a bread like that for ages. I have nice resulting breads, but not ones that look like the real deli rye loaves like these do, both in terms of crumb and crust.

I too miss the dirty noisy hustling and busling streets of NYC. 

Since the formula I used is copyright protected I cannot in good conscience post it here. It would not be fair to my friend Stan. That being said, the co- author of the volume in question, Norm Berg, (RIP) posted his original formula scaled down, right here in our public forum. Enjoy!

Please post your results too.
