Rye sourdough has a robust flavor that stands up beautifully to bold toppings like pastrami and mustard. Its slightly dense texture also makes it ideal for holding layered ingredients without becoming soggy.
Roasting peppers enhances their natural sweetness and gives them a soft, silky texture. They add a gentle, almost caramelized flavor that balances the saltiness of the pastrami.
