REUBEN ROLL-UPS ( APPETIZERS)



Reuben Roll-Ups ( Appetizers) image

Make and share this Reuben Roll-Ups ( Appetizers) recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Galley Wench

Categories     European

Time 30m

Yield 20 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb refrigerated bread dough (Use Recipe Almost No-Knead Rye Bread)
1/4 cup thousand island dressing
6 ounces thinly sliced deli corned beef
6 ounces swiss cheese, sliced
1 (14 ounce) can sauerkraut, with caraway seeds, well drained

Steps:

  • Make Recipe #387518 for the dough.
  • Prepare 2 large baking sheet pans with parchment or Silpats, set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • With lightly floured hands quickly shape dough into a ball by streching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all four sides, rotating the ball a quarter turn as you go.
  • On a lightly floured board, flatten the dough, with hands and rolling pin, into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle, dusting with minimal flour if necessary to keep dough from sticking to the rolling pin. If difficulty is experienced in rolling out the dough, allow it to rest for a few minutes. I've found that pulling the dough with my hands works best.
  • Spread the Thousand Island dressing on the dough, then add corn beef, sauerkraut, and cheese, leaving some of the cheese exposed so that it can help hold the roll together as it bakes.
  • Starting with the long end roll the dough into a log.
  • NOTE: Cut only the number of pieces you want to bake. The rest can be wropped and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.
  • Using kitchen shears, cut the dough into 1/2 inch pieces.
  • Place them on the prepared sheet, leaving plenty of space for them to expand when they bake.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted and caramelized a bit.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your Reuben appetizers will taste. Look for fresh, high-quality corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and rye bread.
  • Don't overcook the corned beef: Corned beef is a tough cut of meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough. Cook the corned beef until it is just tender, about 1 hour per pound.
  • Use a good quality sauerkraut: Sauerkraut is an important part of Reuben appetizers, so it's important to use a good quality sauerkraut. Look for sauerkraut that is made with fresh cabbage and has a slightly sour flavor.
  • Use a good quality Swiss cheese: Swiss cheese is another important part of Reuben appetizers, so it's important to use a good quality Swiss cheese. Look for Swiss cheese that is smooth and creamy, with a slightly nutty flavor.
  • Use a good quality rye bread: Rye bread is the traditional bread used for Reuben appetizers, so it's important to use a good quality rye bread. Look for rye bread that is dense and slightly sour.

Conclusion:

Reuben appetizers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and rye bread, and they can be served hot or cold. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make delicious Reuben appetizers that will impress your guests.
