Ingredients for Making Reuben Pizza
- One (1 pound) loaf of frozen whole-wheat bread dough, thawed.
- 1 cup sauerkraut – rinsed and drained
- ½ teaspoon caraway seed
- ¼ cup chopped dill pickles (optional)
- ½ cup thousand island dressing
- 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
- 6 ounces deli-sliced corned beef, cut into strips
How To Make Reuben Pizza
Step 1
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a large pizza pan. Roll the bread dough out into a large circle about 14 inches across on a lightly floured surface.
- Transfer to the prepared pizza pan. Build up the edges, and prick the centre with a fork so it doesn’t form a dome when baking.
Step 2
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden.
Step 3
- Top the hot crust with half the salad dressing, half the Swiss cheese, and corned beef and sauerkraut. Sprinkle with the caraway seed. Drizzle with the remaining salad dressing.
Step 4
- Let the pizza stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Bake for 10 more minutes, until cheese melts and toppings, are heated. Sprinkle with chopped pickles.
