Reuben Braid
Everyone loves a Reuben for St. Patrick’s Day. Whether you’re celebrating this weekend or waiting until the 17th, prepared dough is stuffed and braided with all the ingredients of a Reuben for an easy-to-eat version of the sandwich.
The ingredients you’ll need for this twist on a Reuben is one can of prepared pizza dough, three quarters of a pound of deli sliced corn beef, half of a pound of sliced Swiss cheese, half of a cup of drained sauerkraut, three fourths of a cup of thousand island dressing, divided, one tablespoon of caraway seeds and one egg.
Preheat the oven to 375°. Roll out dough and shape it into a long rectangle on a baking sheet. Using a knife or pizza cutter, make slices down both long sides of the dough 1 ½ inches thick and 3 inches into the center.
Spread ¼ cup of dressing down the center of the dough. Layer with corned beef, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese. Starting from the top, take one strip and cross it over to the other side on a diagonal, and then cross the opposite strip of dough over the first one and repeat with all the strips. Brush top with egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
After removing from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with remaining thousand island dressing.
