Ingredients
-
1 tube crescent roll dough or 1 sheet puff pastry
-
½ lb sliced corned beef
-
1 cup sauerkraut, drained and patted dry
-
1½ cups shredded or sliced Swiss cheese
-
¼ cup Thousand Island or Russian dressing
-
1 egg, beaten (for brushing crust)

Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven: Set to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish.
2️⃣ Layer the base: Roll out half of the dough and press into the bottom of the dish. Bake for 5–7 minutes until slightly golden.
3️⃣ Add fillings: Spread dressing evenly on the baked base. Layer with half the cheese, then all the corned beef, sauerkraut, and remaining cheese.
4️⃣ Top with dough: Lay the remaining dough over the top and press edges to seal. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds if using.
5️⃣ Bake: Return to oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
