Muffuletta Ingredients
Method
Muffuletta Preparation
Slice the Bread
Cut the Italian bread in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom half. If desired, hollow out some of the bread from the inside to make more room for the fillings.
Layer the Meats and Cheese
On the bottom half of the bread, layer the mortadella, salami, ham, and provolone cheese. Make sure to distribute the meats and cheese evenly.
Add the Olive Salad
Spread the prepared olive salad over the layered meats and cheese, ensuring it covers them evenly.
Add Fresh Basil
Sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top of the olive salad.
Finish the Sandwich
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the top half of the bread, then place it on top of the sandwich. Press down gently.
Serve
Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Cut into wedges to serve.
