Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a round cake pan or springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread softened butter on one side of each rye bread slice. Cut the slices into halves or quarters, depending on the size of your pan, so they cover the base more evenly when layered.
Place a single layer of buttered bread (butter side down) into the bottom of the prepared pan, ensuring full coverage.
Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing evenly over the bread.
Add a layer of corned beef slices, followed by a layer of Swiss cheese, and then a layer of sauerkraut.
Repeat the layering process (bread, dressing, beef, cheese, sauerkraut) until the pan is nearly full, finishing with a final layer of rye bread on top (butter side up).
If desired, sprinkle caraway seeds over the top layer for added flavor and texture.
Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and lightly crisp.
Allow the 'Reuben in the Round' to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!
