Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tube Pillsbury French Loaf
8 oz. pastrami or corned beef, sliced
8 slices Swiss cheese
1/4 c thousand island dressing
2 TB yellow mustard
1 can sauerkraut, pressed and thoroughly drained
1 egg white, beaten
1 TB caraway or poppy seeds
Non stick cooking spray

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray cookie sheet with non stick cooking spray or use a rectangular stone. Unroll French Loaf to form a rectangle; cover and let rise about 10 min. Lay slices of corned beef or pastrami down the center. Spread mustard and dressing on meat. Cover with slices of cheese. Evenly place sauerkraut over cheese. Make about 8 cuts into dough from edges to meat on either side. Braid dough strips over top of ingredients by alternating sides and pinching the ends closed. Brush egg whites over top and sprinkle with caraway or poppy seeds. Bake for about 30 min. or until golden brown. Cool slightly before slicing and serve warm.
