1/4 c. Thousand Island dressing

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups flour, yeast, sugar, butter and salt. Stir in warm water, mix until a soft dough forms. Add remaining flour if necessary. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth. On a lightly greased baking sheet, roll dough to a 14"x10" rectangle. Spread dressing down center 1/3 of dough. Top with layers of beef, cheese and sauerkraut.
