Ingredients
Scale
1 loaf frozen bread dough (thawed) or homemade bread dough
1/2 pound sliced corned beef
1 cup sauerkraut, well-drained
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 cup Thousand Island or Russian dressing
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out bread dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 10×14 inches.
Spread dressing evenly down the center third of the dough.
Layer corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese on top of the dressing.
Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart on both sides of the filling.
Fold the strips over the filling, alternating sides to create a braided look. Pinch ends to seal.
Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds, if using.
Transfer to prepared baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with extra dressing for dipping.
Notes
Make sure to drain sauerkraut well to prevent soggy bread.
Use homemade or store-bought pizza dough as an alternative.
Leftovers can be reheated in the oven for best texture.
