Ingredients:
1 large round sesame-seeded Italian loaf
4 oz turkey ham, sliced
4 oz beef salami, sliced
4 oz beef pepperoni, sliced
4 oz provolone cheese, sliced
4 oz mozzarella cheese, sliced
⅓ cup green olives, chopped
⅓ cup black olives, chopped
¼ cup roasted red peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons giardiniera, finely chopped
1 tablespoon capers
¼ cup olive oil
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Bread: Slice the bread loaf horizontally. Hollow out a small amount of the interior to create space for the fillings.
2️⃣ Make the Olive Salad: In a bowl, combine the green olives, black olives, roasted red peppers, giardiniera, capers, celery, parsley, and olive oil. Stir until everything is well mixed.
3️⃣ Assemble the Muffuletta: Spread half of the olive salad evenly over the bottom half of the hollowed-out bread. Layer the turkey ham, beef salami, beef pepperoni, provolone cheese, and mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
4️⃣ Add the Second Layer: Spoon the remaining olive salad over the cheese and meat layers.
5️⃣ Finish the Sandwich: Place the top half of the bread on and gently press down to compact the sandwich.
6️⃣ Rest and Serve: Wrap the sandwich tightly and let it rest for 20–30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before slicing and serving.
