Ingredients:
- 2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 lb sliced corned beef
- 1 (14-ounce) can sauerkraut, drained and patted dry
- 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (or Swiss cheese slices)
- ½ cup Thousand Island dressing
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare the dough: Open the two cans of crescent roll dough. Unroll the dough and lay it flat on the prepared baking sheet. Pinch the seams together to form one large sheet of dough. You may need to stretch it a little to make sure it covers the entire baking sheet.
-
Layer the filling:
- Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Evenly distribute the sliced corned beef over the dressing.
- Place the drained and patted dry sauerkraut on top of the corned beef.
- Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese (or place slices) over the sauerkraut.
-
Roll it up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough into a log, ensuring the filling stays inside. Pinch the edges and ends to seal the roll, and make sure there are no gaps or openings.
-
Prepare the egg wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush the top of the rolled dough with the beaten egg wash to give it a golden finish when baked.
-
Add caraway seeds (optional): Sprinkle caraway seeds on top of the dough, if desired. These will add a traditional flavor and extra texture to the roll.
-
Bake the roll: Place the rolled dough in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked. The cheese should be melted, and the corned beef heated through.
-
Brush with butter: Once the roll is out of the oven, brush the top with the melted butter to add flavor and give it a nice sheen.
-
Slice and serve: Allow the roll to cool for a few minutes before slicing into individual portions. Serve warm and enjoy!
