Ingredients

Scale

1 10-inch round Italian bread

1 cup olive salad

ΒΌ lb (about 113 g) Capicola or deli ham, 4-6 slices

ΒΌ lb (about 113 g) Genoa salami, 6-8 slices

β…› lb (about 57 g) sliced mozzarella, 3-4 thin slices

β…› lb (about 57 g) provolone cheese, 3-4 thin slices

Spanish extra virgin olive oil for moistening bread

Instructions

First Step: Slice the round Italian bread horizontally in half and set aside the two pieces.

Second Step: Brush both inner sides of the bread with olive salad oil or extra virgin olive oil, adding a bit more to the bottom half for extra moisture.

Third Step: Layer the ham, salami, and mortadella on the bottom half of the bread, spreading them out evenly.

Fourth Step: Add the sliced mozzarella and provolone cheese right on top of the meats to create that melty goodness.

Fifth Step: Spread the olive salad over the cheese, starting from the center and moving outwards, but leave about half an inch clear near the edges to keep it neat.

Sixth Step: Place the top half of the bread over the olive salad and press down firmly so the bread soaks up those juicy flavors.

Seventh Step: Slice the sandwich into 4 to 6 wedges using a bread knife for easy serving.

Eighth Step: If you like it warm, optionally toast the sandwich in a 350Β°F oven for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese and crisp the bread.
