Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Round Italian bread loaf
- 4 tablespoons Garlic butter
- 8 slices Provolone cheese
- 6 slices Mortadella
- 6 slices Genoa salami
- 4 slices Capicola
- 1.5 cups Marinated olive salad
- 6 Roasted garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the round Italian bread loaf horizontally in half. Scoop out a bit of the bread from each side to create a shallow cavity for the fillings.
Spread 2 tablespoons of garlic butter on the cut side of each bread half and set aside.
In a small bowl, mash the roasted garlic cloves with the olive oil and red wine vinegar until you form a paste. Stir in the garlic powder, black pepper, and parsley.
Spread an even layer of the garlic mixture on the bottom half of the bread.
Layer half the provolone cheese, all the mortadella, all the Genoa salami, and all the capicola on top of the garlic mixture.
Spread the marinated olive salad evenly over the cured meats, ensuring it reaches the edges.
Top the olive salad with the remaining provolone cheese slices.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the bread and gently press down to compact the layers.
Wrap the sandwich tightly in foil and place on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sandwich is warmed through.
Remove the sandwich from the oven, unwrap the foil, and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve immediately and enjoy the garlicky, savory flavors!
