Ingredients

• 1 loaf Round Italian bread
• 1 cup Green olives, pitted and chopped
• 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
• 1 cup Pickled vegetables (giardiniera), chopped
• 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
• 1 Garlic clove, minced
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 6 ounces Sliced Genoa salami
• 6 ounces Sliced mortadella
• 6 ounces Sliced ham
• 6 ounces Sliced provolone cheese
• 6 ounces Sliced mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1

Slice the round Italian bread horizontally to create a top and bottom half.

Step 2

Scoop out some of the interior crumb from both halves to create space for the fillings.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the green olives, Kalamata olives, pickled vegetables, capers, minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and oregano. Stir well to combine and let the olive salad marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

Spread a generous amount of the olive salad mixture onto both the top and bottom halves of the bread.

Step 5

Layer the bottom half of the bread with Genoa salami, mortadella, ham, provolone cheese, and mozzarella cheese, alternating meats and cheeses as you go.

Step 6

Place the top half of the bread over the layered ingredients and press gently to compact the sandwich.

Step 7

Wrap the entire sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. For the best results, refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Step 8

When ready to serve, unwrap the sandwich and cut it into wedges or slices. Serve immediately and enjoy!
