Equipment

  • 2 baking sheets
  • parchment paper or aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 2 loaves of frozen whole wheat or white bread dough Rhodes from freezer section works well
  • 14 ounce can sauerkraut drained well
  • 10 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 pound thin sliced corned beef
  • 6 tablespoons thousand island dressing
  • 1 egg + water beaten for egg wash
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°
  • Allow frozen bread dough to thaw over night in refrigerator.
  • Drain sauerkraut in a colander, press out all excess liquid with a paper towel.
  • Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface in a 12x15 rectangle.
  • Spoon 3 tablespoons of Thousand Island Dressing the long way down the middle of the dough. Place 5 slices of cheese on top of dressing, leaving room at the top to pinch ends closed. Layer 1/2 of Corned Beef over cheese, and to place half of the drained sauerkraut on top of the corned beef.
  • Make slices in dough from the filling to the sides about 1 1/2 inches apart. Alternating sides, fold the strips at an angle across the filling. Pinch ends of loaf closed.
  • Transfer Reuben loaves to a lightly greased baking sheet, cover with a towel and let rise for about an hour or more. (If dough is still cold it may take longer for bread to rise.)
  • Brush with egg wash and sprinkle each loaf with 1/2 teaspoon of caraway seeds.
  • Place in a preheated 400 degree oven and bake for 20 minutes. Slice and serve with thousand island dressing on the side.
