1. Begin by preparing the olive salad. In a food processor, combine green olives, black olives, roasted red peppers, and giardiniera. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
2. Transfer the chopped mixture to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Slice each gluten-free ciabatta roll horizontally in half and open them up on a clean work surface.
4. Generously spread a layer of the prepared olive salad on the cut side of the bottom half of each roll.
5. Layer each roll with 2 slices of provolone cheese followed by 2 slices of mozzarella cheese, 2 slices of salami, 2 slices of mortadella, and 2 slices of ham.
6. Top the meat and cheese with another layer of olive salad.
7. Close the sandwiches with the top half of the gluten-free ciabatta rolls.
8. For best results, wrap each sandwich in parchment paper and press it gently with your hand to encourage the flavors to meld further. Let the sandwiches sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
9. Slice each sandwich into halves or quarters and serve.
