Preparation

Step 1

Set aside 1 cup flour.

In a bowl, combine 2-1/4 cups flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir in warm water and butter. Mix in only enough reserved flour to make a soft dough.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth, about 4 minutes.

On a lightly greased baking sheet, roll dough to a 14-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Spread dressing down center third of dough length. Top with layers of beef, cheese and sauerkraut. Make cuts from filling to edges of dough 1 in. apart on both sides of the filling.

Alternating sides, fold the strips at an angle across filling. Cover dough and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.

Brush with egg white and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

Cool slightly; Serve warm.
