My husband and I were recently watching "Man Vs. Food" and they were at a pizza place that made specialty pizzas. They were showcasing their Reuben pizza...I thought my husband was going to drool all over himself.
So, I decided to try to make this.
Here's my journey in gourmet pizza making.
I made my homemade pizza dough, (I'm sure I will put up the recipe in due time)...
I then covered the dough to the crust with 1000 Island dressing. I used Kraft, but you can use your favorite if you have one.
I then sprinkled the dressing with caraway seeds (To give the illusion of rye bread taste).
Next, place Swiss cheese slices in a cross pattern, mine took three slices down and two out. For the corners, fold the slice in half to form a triangle, break and put point in facing the cross shape to fill in the circle.
Next comes the sauerkraut layer. Be generous, as the strong taste will cook off a bit in the oven.
Next comes the Corned Beef layer. I just bought it from the deli, and ripped it into smaller pieces.
By this time, you should have something that looks like this:
Now, because this is a pizza, and you will need some type of "glue" to hold it all together, cover that baby in mozzarella. I use the finely shredded, because I think it melts better and more evenly...but the regular shredded (or shred yourself) will work just fine too.
Bake at 350 until the cheese is melty and starting to brown.
This was my finished product:
It was pointed out to me that there is not a specific baking time...I will post a time on here the next time I make this, but at the time I wasn't planning on doing a blog, and just wasn't paying attention to the time.
