1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (or slices)

1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing (plus extra for dipping)

Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing down the center third.
Layer corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese over the dressing.
Cut slits along both long sides of the pastry and braid strips over the filling.
