Reuben Pizza

A conveniently packaged dish, this has all the flavor of a traditional Reuben with the mess more contained.

ingredients

One 1-lb package pizza dough
1 1/2 cups shredded swiss cheese
1 pound pastrami or corned beef
1 cup sauerkraut, rinsed
1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 1/2 Tbsp ketchup
2 Tbsp finely chopped bread and butter pickles

directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, and position the rack to the lower third of the oven. Cut the pizza dough in half, and form each into a circle. Place one piece on a floured surface and roll out to a 9 inch diameter. Sprinkle half the cheese on top, leaving a 1 inch border around. Place the pastrami and sauerkraut on top. Top with remaining cheese. Roll out the second dough to 10 inches and place over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal, brush entire surface with olive oil, and cut vents in the center. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool. Mix together mayonnaise, ketchup and pickles, and serve with wedges of the pizza.
