Reuben Loaf

From: Beccy Kennedy 
 3 1/4 C flour 
1 T white sugar 
1 t salt 
1 pk rapidrise yeast (=2 1/4 t)
 1 C hot water
 1 T soft margarine or butter
 1/4 C thousand islands dressing 
6 oz thinly sliced corned beef (cooked) 
1/4 lb sliced or shredded swiss or mozzarella cheese
 8 oz well drained sauerkraut
 egg white 
caraway seeds 

 Set aside 1C flour. In large bowl mix flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Stir in water and butter. Mix in only enough reserved flour to make soft dough. On floured surface kneed 4 min. On greased baking sheet roll dough to 14"x10". Spread dressing down centre third of dough length (I omit this step and use dressing for dipping). Top with layers of beef, cheese and sauerkraut. Make 1" strips on dough from filling to edge. Alternating sides, fold strips at an angle across filling. Cover dough. Let rise. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Bake at 400 for 25 min. or until done.
