Rueben Braid

I made this the other night for “Girlfriends & Wine” in the Rose Garden… it was DELISH and very, very BITEABLE! Go make it… now!

Ingredients 🍴

• 1 Can prepared pizza dough (such as Pillsbury dough in a tube)
• 1 lb deli corned beef, sliced
• 5 slices Swiss cheese
• ½ cup sauerkraut, drained
• ¼ cup 1000 island dressing, plus extra for dipping (about an additional ½ cup)
• 2 Tbsp butter, melted

Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Roll out the dough and shape it into a long rectangle. Spread the ¼ cup of 1000 island dressing onto the dough.
2. Lay corned beef down the center of the dough.
3. Next layer on your sauerkraut, and top with slices of cheese.
4. With a knife, make cuts on either side of the dough, about ½ inch apart. Starting from the top, take one strip and cross it diagonally, then cross the opposite strip. Continue this braid pattern to the bottom.
5. Transfer to a baking sheet. Brush top with melted butter and bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice. Serve with extra dressing for dipping.
