Reuben Loaf











3 1/4 - 3 3/4 c flour, divided
1 pkg (1/4 ounce) yeast
1 T sugar
1 T butter, softened
1 t salt
1 c warm water
1/4 c Thousand Island Dressing
3 pkg Carl Buddig Corned Beef
4 ounces sliced Swiss Cheese
1 can (8 ounces) sauerkraut, drained
1 egg white, beaten
Caraway or Poppy seeds

In a bowl, combine 2 1/4 c flour, yeast, sugar, butter and salt.  Stir in warm water, mix until soft dough forms.  Add remaining flour if necessary.  Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth, about 4 minutes.  On a lightly greased baking sheet, roll dough to a 14 in. x 10 in. rectangle.  Spread dressing down the center third of dough.  Top with layers of beef, cheese and sauerkraut.  Make cuts from filling to edges of dough 1 in. apart on bothy sides of the filling.  Alternating sides, fold the strips at an angle across filling.  Cover dough and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.  Brush with egg whites and sprinkle with seeds.  Bake at 400 for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.  Serve immediately, refrigerate leftovers.

We just had this for dinner, but I mixed up the innards. I used hard salami, provolone, and creamy basil ranch dressing. It was SO good! Thanks for the recipe. :)
