Ingredients

1 0/1 pizza dough

4 oz. corned beef, chopped

3 slices Swiss cheese, chopped

1/3 cup sauerkraut, drained

1 spear Mrs. Wages® Kosher Dill Pickles, chopped

1 egg, beaten

1 tbsp caraway seeds, optional

Russian or 1000 Island salad dressing

Directions

1Preheat oven to 350°F.

2On a clean, floured surface, roll pizza dough out into a sheet approximately 1/8 inch thick. Using a 3½-inch biscuit cutter, cut dough into circles

3Combine corned beef, cheese, sauerkraut and pickles in a food processor. Pulse 4-5 times to combine.

4On each round, place about 1 tablespoon corned beef mixture on one side. Fold over dough to form a half circle. Using a fork, crimp down edges of dough to form a tight seal.

5Place finished pockets on a parchment lined baking sheet. Using beaten egg, lightly brush the top of the empanada. Sprinkle with caraway seeds, if desired. With a fork, poke holes to vent steam during baking.

6Bake 25-30 minutes until golden colored. Serve warm with Russian or 1000 Island salad dressing as a dipping sauce and pickle spears on the side.
