fancy reuben loaf
This is an excellent sandwich to have on a cold winter's night, along with your favorite soup. I like to have it with French onion soup.

How To Make fancy reuben loaf
-

Step 4In the center of the dough layer, the corned beef.

Step 8Start at one end, folding the end toward the center. Then, crisscross the edges.
