Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Carefully cut the round rye bread in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer.
Spread the Thousand Island dressing evenly on the cut sides of both the top and bottom halves of the bread.
Layer the corned beef evenly across the bottom half of the bread.
Top the corned beef with the slices of Swiss cheese, ensuring they are spread evenly.
Add the sauerkraut on top of the Swiss cheese, spreading it out in an even layer.
Place the top half of the bread onto the sandwich, pressing gently to secure the layers.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and stir in the Dijon mustard until combined.
Brush the mustard butter mixture over the top of the sandwich.
Wrap the sandwich loosely in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the top of the bread.
Take the sandwich out of the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm and enjoy your Great Round Reuben!
