# # # 🧑🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a baking stone.
2. Prepare Crescent Dough:
Unroll the crescent dough and arrange triangles in a circular shape on the baking sheet, with wide ends overlapping in the center and points facing out—like a sun.
3. Layer the Filling:
On the overlapped center ring:
* Spread a thin layer of Thousand Island dressing.
* Add corned beef slices.
* Top with sauerkraut.
* Sprinkle Swiss cheese.
* Optionally, sprinkle caraway seeds for a rye bread-like flavor.
4. Fold & Seal:
Bring triangle tips over the filling and tuck under the ring to form a wreath shape. Some filling will be visible.
5. Egg Wash:
Brush the dough with the beaten egg for a golden crust.
6. Bake:
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
7. Cool Slightly & Serve:
Let sit for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side.
