HEART HEALTHY COOKING CLASS - Chill Chasers

Reuben Loaf

3 1/4 to 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 package (1/4-ounce) quick-rise yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon margarine, softened
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup reduced-fat Thousand Island salad dressing
6 ounces thinly sliced reduced-fat corned beef
4 ounces sliced reduced-fat Swiss cheese
1 can (8 ounces) sauerkraut, drained
1 egg white, beaten
Caraway seeds, optional


In a mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups flour, yeast, sugar, margarine and salt. Stir in warm water; mix until a soft dough forms. Add remaining flour if necessary. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth, about 4 minutes. On a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray, roll dough to a 14-in. X 10-in. rectangle. Spread dressing down center third of dough. Top with layers of beef, cheese and sauerkraut. Make cuts from filling to edges of dough 1-inch apart on both sides of the filling. Alternating sides, fold the strips at an angle across filling. Cover dough and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with caraway seeds if desired. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve immediately; refrigerate leftovers.
