Instructions
- Prepare the Bread Bowl:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the top off the round rye bread loaf and hollow out the center, leaving a sturdy wall of bread around the edges. Set aside the scooped-out bread pieces for dipping.

- Fold in the sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, and chopped corned beef, stirring until well combined.
- Assemble and Bake:
- Spoon the dip mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl. Place the filled bread bowl on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Serve:
- Garnish with chopped parsley or caraway seeds if desired. Serve hot with the reserved bread pieces, rye crackers, or veggie sticks for dipping.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Prepare the dip mixture in advance and store in the fridge. When ready to serve, fill the bread bowl and bake as directed.
- Serving Suggestions: Offer extra dippers like pretzels, bagel crisps, or fresh veggies.
