Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Roll out the dough and with your hands, shape it into a long rectangle. Spread the ¼ cup of 1000 island dressing onto the dough.
Lay corned beef down the center of the dough.
Next layer on your sauerkraut.
And finally top with slices of cheese.
With a knife, make cuts on either side of the dough, approximately ½ inch apart from each other. Starting from the top, take one strip and cross it over to the other side on a diagonal, and then cross the opposite strip of dough over the first one, also in a diagonal. Continue this patter until you reach the bottom. Carefully transfer to a baking sheet. Brush top with melted butter and bake for approximately 15 – 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
After removing from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes and then slice. Use the ½ cup of dressing as a dipping sauce.
