Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425ðF (220ðC).
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
  3. Spread a generous layer of Thousand Island dressing evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  4. Rinse the sauerkraut under cold water to reduce excess salt, then squeeze out any remaining liquid.
  5. Spread the drained sauerkraut evenly over the dressing.
  6. Slice the corned beef into thin strips and distribute them evenly over the sauerkraut.
  7. Sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese generously over the meat and kraut.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Note

For a lighter version, use reduced-fat Swiss cheese and a lighter Thousand Island dressing.

If you prefer a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.

You can substitute Russian dressing for Thousand Island if preferred.

For added crunch, sprinkle some diced pickles on top before baking.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to maintain crust crispiness.
