Note

Storage: Store leftover loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat slices in a toaster or oven.

Substitutions: You can use sauerkraut mixed into the Thousand Island dressing for a more traditional Reuben flavor. If you prefer a milder taste, substitute provolone for Swiss cheese.

Tip: Ensure the yeast is fresh and the water is warm (105-115F) but not hot, as hot water will kill the yeast. If the dough doesn't rise properly, check your yeast's expiration date.
