Ingredients

• 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 8 ounces corned beef, thinly sliced
• 8 slices Swiss cheese, sliced
• 3 cups sauerkraut, well-drained
• 0.33 cup Thousand Island dressing
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon flour (for dusting work surface)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out each can of crescent roll dough into two large rectangles. Pinch the seams together to create a continuous sheet of dough.

Step 3

On one rectangle of dough, layer the corned beef slices evenly, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.

Step 4

Top the corned beef with Swiss cheese slices, followed by an even layer of drained sauerkraut.

Step 5

Drizzle the sauerkraut with Thousand Island dressing, spreading it lightly for even coverage.

Step 6

If using caraway seeds, sprinkle them over the filling.

Step 7

Carefully place the second rectangle of dough over the top of the filling, aligning the edges. Pinch the edges of both dough sheets together to seal the loaf.

Step 8

Transfer the sealed loaf to the prepared baking sheet and gently shape it into a neat rectangle.

Step 9

Brush the top of the loaf with the beaten egg, ensuring an even coating for a golden-brown finish.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, make a few small slits on the top of the loaf to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into thick pieces.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy!
