Instructions:
1. Prepare the Olive Salad:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine green olives, black olives, roasted red peppers, giardiniera, and minced garlic.
-
Drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar, then sprinkle with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
-
Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor).
2. Prep the Bread:
-
Slice the loaf horizontally in half. If needed, hollow out some of the soft interior to make room for the fillings.
3. Assemble the Sandwich:
-
Spread half of the olive salad evenly over the bottom half of the bread.
-
Layer the salami, mortadella, chicken ham, provolone, and mozzarella on top.
-
Spread the remaining olive salad over the top half of the bread.
4. Press and Rest:
-
Close the sandwich and wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil.
-
Place a heavy skillet or weights (like canned goods) on top to press it down.
-
Let it rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
5. Serve:
-
Unwrap, slice into wedges, and enjoy at room temperature for the best taste!
Pro Tip: For an even richer flavor, let the assembled sandwich sit in the fridge for a few hours before pressing.
