Reuben Pull Apart Bread
Serves 8-10
Ingredients
1 round sourdough loaf
1/2 lb. chipped corned beef or pastrami
8 oz. baby swiss cheese slices
1 cup 1000 Island dressing
1 cup sauerkraut
Directions
Shred baby swiss cheese and cut chipped corned beef/pastrami into small size pieces and set aside
Slice bread all the way across every 1 inch, almost to the bottom of the loaf
Then turn the loaf 90 degrees and do the same thing
(This creates rows of little square pieces of bread that are still connected at the bottom of the loaf)
Using a basting brush, paint 1000 Island dressing all over the outside, inside of the bread, and in between all the cuts
Place the cheese and meat into all the cuts, leaving some meat and cheese for the top of the loaf
Drain excess liquid from sauerkraut and heat the sauerkraut in a small skillet
Gently place sauerkraut all over the top of the meat and cheese on top of the loaf
Bake at 375° for 15 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is getting golden around the edges
Place under broiler for 3-5 minutes
Remove from oven, place on cutting board and cut into pieces for easy serving
Serve with extra dressing
