Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm whole milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • THOUSAND ISLAND SAUCE:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons finely diced dill pickles
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 dashes Louisiana-style hot sauce
  • Dash garlic powder
  • PIZZA SWIRLS:
  • 3/4 pound thinly sliced corned beef
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced lacy Swiss cheese

Directions

  1. Add sugar and yeast to warm milk; let stand for 15 minutes. Beat yeast mixture, oil, kosher salt and caraway seeds until blended. Beat in flour, 1/2 cup at a time, just until combined. With oiled hands, place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
  2. Meanwhile, mix all ingredients for Thousand Island sauce; refrigerate.
  3. Punch down dough. To assemble pizza swirls, turn dough onto a well-floured surface; roll into a 15x10-in. rectangle. Arrange corned beef and cheese slices to within 3/4 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal and tuck ends under. Cut crosswise into 1-in. slices. Place slices cut sides down, edges touching, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°. Cover pizza swirls with greased foil; let stand 20 minutes. Bake, covered, 20 minutes; remove foil and bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes longer. Serve warm with Thousand Island sauce.
