Number Of Ingredients 19

1 large muffuletta bread - 10 inch round loaf - long italian loaf can be substituted, but it won't be authentic.
2 oz salami, thinly sliced (genoa preferred)
2 oz italian ham, thinly sliced (cappicola preferred)
2 oz provolone cheese, thinly sliced
1 c olive salad
3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or juice from olive salad

mortadella, prosciutto, speck,bresaola & swiss cheese

1 Tbsp capers, drained and rinsed
1/2 c finely-chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tsp finely-chopped fresh oregano leaves
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 c extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Make olive salad
  • 2. Cut bread in half crosswise and scoop out about half of the soft dough from top and bottom pieces (this is to provide more room for the sandwich ingredients). Brush the inside bottom of loaf with olive oil or juice from the Olive Salad marinade.
  • 3. Layer salami, Italian ham and Provolone cheese on the bottom piece.
  • 4. Top with as much Olive Salad as will fit without spilling out. Add top of loaf and press down fairly hard.

  • 6. Makes: 1 to 4 servings, depending on the appetite. Cut in quarters !

I'm not a huge fan of muffaletta sandwiches, but this one was actually really good. The bread was soft and the olive salad was flavorful.

I thought the olive salad was a bit too salty, but otherwise the sandwich was great.

This sandwich was a bit too messy for me, but it was still delicious. I would recommend using a smaller bread roll.

I've tried many muffaletta recipes, but this one is by far the best. The olive salad is so flavorful and the bread is nice and crusty.
