Corned Beef Sauerkraut Reuben Braid --- FamilyFreshMeals.com - delish

Following up on my Reuben Dip from last year, I’ve come up with yet another new twist on the classic Reuben sandwich. In fact, this one is literally a new twist, because it’s braided!

“Huh?” you say. “How do you braid a sandwich?” Well, stay with me here, because it sounds more complicated than it is:

You start with a long rectangle of pizza dough. Right down the middle, you layer on all the ingredients of the Reuben: dressing, corned beef, sauerkraut, and finally Swiss cheese. Then you cut strips along the sides and criss-cross them over the filling, so there’s just a little bit of cheese peeping out. And then finally, you take the whole thing and bake it, so the cheese and the meat and the sauerkraut all heat up and blend their flavors together.

This baked Corned Beef Sauerkraut Reuben Braid really takes the Reuben to the next level. The flavors combine much more than they do in the original sandwich, and the baked, golden crust adds a whole ‘nother layer of flavor on top of that.

Seriously, just try it. It’s worth the effort.
