Today, Labor day Monday 09-04-17, I am baking a N.Y. deli rye, using Rose, Levy, Beranbaum's formula. Tomorrow, I will convert her formula, to incorporate the Tang Zung method. The Tang Zung method formula is below. https://goodcookingfortheheartandsoul.blogspot.com/2017/09/rose-levy-beranbaums-nyc-deli-jewish.html

The finished product, Rose, Levy, Beranbaums original formula. Good oven spring, smells divine. Tomorrow we will see if the Tang Zung makes any difference. 

Looks good, tastes good, with a decidedly chewy texture. I think, I did very well. Not sure I even need to try and improve on this. Like they say, if its not broke, don't fix it. Smile. 

Thanks guys! I even got the shape of the N.Y. rye I am use to. Which brings me to my question, would anyone know if Rose, Levy, Beranbaum, has any relation to the Levys of supermarket Jewish rye fame?
