Ingredients
- 1 round loaf Italian-style bread 8-10-inch in diameter
- Olive Salad see recipe below
- Oil from Olive Salad
- 2-4 ounces salami thinly sliced
- 2-4 ounces Italian ham thinly sliced
- 2-4 ounces Provolone cheese thinly sliced
Olive Salad Recipe
- ⅔ cup pitted and diced Queen or Manzanilla green olives
- ⅔ cup pitted and diced Kalamata olives
- ½ cup chopped pimiento
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup finely chopped Italian flat parsley leaves
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Olive Salad. In a medium-size bowl, combine all ingredients and allow to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour before making sandwiches.
- Cut bread in half to make a “bun” and scoop out a little hollow from top.
- Brush the insides of your “bun” with some oil from the Olive Salad marinade.
- Layer salami, ham, and Provolone cheese on the bottom of the bun.
- Fill the hollow of the top of loaf with the olive salad. Put sandwich together and press down slightly.
- If you like the cheese slightly melted, wrap the sandwich with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until the sandwich is warmed throughout.
- Slice in quarters and serve.
