Steps:
- Olive Mixture:.
- Mix with celery then totally cover with olive oil, cover and put in fridge while you prepare bread or even the day before to save time.
- Gut bread, drizzle and spread olive oil on both sides, then lightly sprinkle each side with either a balsamic or red wine vinegar. Spread a thin layer of minced garlic on the bread.end to end( everything you do to one side is done for both sides).
- Now spread a generous layer about 2 tablespoons of the celery mixture on each side.
- Now we put the sandwich together -- LOL.
- I am going to list the meats I buy and the amounts. I buy from the deli and have it sliced sandwich thin.
- Makeing The Sandwich:.
- Now begin your layers remember duplicate each side.
- I usually layer 3 different meats then a layer of cheese -- I alternate the 2 cheeses and just sprinkle parmesan at will.
- Then add a thin layer of the celery mix and start all over, making sure to use all the different meats before repeating them, fill both sides completely full making sure they are totally full then add cheese on one layer before putting the 2 sides together. *Make sure you have a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil laid out under the bread, that is big enough to completely wrap the entire sandwich. I slide the 2 sides right next to each other, then carefully flip one on top of the other, then tightly wrap and seal the entire sandwich and place in frig at least 2 hours -- Overnight is even better but 2 hours will do. Then leaving it wrapped put it in a 350 oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour, has to heat all the way through and let the cheese melt. Carefully unwrap and make sure it is hot all the way through( if needed rewrap and cook a bit longer) Once it is done let it sit 15-20 minutes, then you can cut into sandwich slices( electric knife works best, or a good serrated edged bread knife) I like my portions cut into 2 inch slices , remember it is a rich sandwich and larger portions tend to fall apart on you. Best served hot, to at least warm and it keeps in frig real well and reheats fairly well in microwave.
- Hope this is easy enough to understand. In New Orleans they just use Italian ham and don't gut and stuff the bread like I do, but I LOVE mine best -- lol.

MUFFULETTA (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)
This is from The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook, the same folks as Cook's Illustrated. I trust them with any endeavor. I haven't tried this recipe yet. This is an uncooked sandwich, so I used the "cooking time" to enter the minimum amount of time you'd have to have to let everything marinade and meld as needed This recipe is different from others already posted because it uses oil-packed, sun-dried tomatoes in the olive salad. Sounds good to me!

Steps:
- For the olive salad, mix everything together. Cover and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours.
- To make the sandwich: Drain olive salad, saving the marinade. Cut the bread in half horizontally and remove most of the soft interior. Brush both inside pieces of the bread with the reserved marinade.
- Place half of the olive salad in the bottom half of the hollowed-out bread. Top it with the cold cuts. Put on the rest of the olive salad. Put top half of bread on top of it all.
- Wrap in plastic wrap. Put it between two dinner plates. (It might work best to turn the top plate upside down, depending on if the plates have any curvature to them or not.) Put 2 or 3 heavy cans on top of it to work as weights. (Mufuletta is pressed-down sandwich). Chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
- To serve, unwrap and cut into wedges.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread. A sturdy bread, such as Italian or French bread, will hold up well to the fillings. You can also use a hoagie roll or even a baguette.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with fillings. Classic fillings include ham, salami, mortadella, provolone cheese, and olive salad. But you can also add other ingredients, such as roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, or even grilled vegetables.
- Make sure to layer the fillings evenly. This will help to ensure that each bite is packed with flavor.
- Press the sandwich down firmly before cutting it. This will help to keep the fillings in place.
- Serve the sandwich immediately or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for later.
Conclusion:
A muffuletta is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a party or a quick lunch. With its variety of fillings, there is sure to be a muffuletta that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a new sandwich to try, give the muffuletta a try. You won't be disappointed.
