Reuben Loaf

This is a great meal for

Saint Patrick's Day or anytime of the year!

 

You get your corn beef and cabbage all in one.

 

I got this recipe from one of my dearest friends, Annette Priddis,  many years ago.

 

 

French Bread Recipe

 

Ingredients

3 cups  flour                                         4 tsp. sugar

1 1/4 cups hot water                            2 Tbs. butter

 1 pkg. yeast                                           1 1/2 tsp. salt

 

Add butter to hot water. Beat  in 1 cup flour, salt, sugar, undissolved yeast. Beat in second cup of flour (with electric beaters). Let dough rest 10 min,, stir 100 strokes. Repeat this set 5 more times. Turn onto heavily floured board and mold into 1 large loaf. Cover and let rise till doubled.

 

Now Let’s Make It Into A Reuben Loaf:

 

Ingredients

 

          Thousand Island Dressing              2 TBSP. melted butter

16 oz jar Sauerkraut (drained)        Caraway seeds

           1 lb. sliced Swiss cheese               1 lb. sliced corn beef 

          

On the floured surface, roll out the dough. Spread a generous amount of Thousand Island Dressing in the center of the dough.  Then place a layer of meat down the center,  a layer of cheese, then a layer of sauerkraut. I like to add a little more dressing at this point.

 

Make diagonal cuts down one side of the dough, then the other.

 Now your going to criss-cross these stripes over, fold the ends in. (see photo)

Brush butter across the top and sprinkle with caraway seeds.

 

 

Bake in 450* oven for 25-30 minutes.

Let stand for 5 minutes then slice and serve.

 

If you like a good Reuben Sandwich,
you’re going to LOVE this recipe as much as my family does!
