Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, and mustard to create a simple Thousand Island dressing. Set aside.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the thawed bread dough into a large rectangle, about 12x8 inches.
Spread half of the Thousand Island dressing evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
Layer the corned beef slices evenly over the dressing, followed by the Swiss cheese slices, and then the drained sauerkraut. Sprinkle caraway seeds over the sauerkraut if desired.
Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log, sealing the seam and pinching the ends to close. Place the log seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the beaten egg over the surface of the dough to give it a shiny, golden crust when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and cooked through. Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Cut the loaf into thick slices and serve warm with the remaining Thousand Island dressing for dipping. Enjoy!
