Begin by preparing the olive salad. In a food processor, combine pitted green olives, pitted black olives, roasted red bell pepper, capers, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture using the food processor until it forms a coarse relish. Be careful not to over-process; you want the mixture to retain some texture.
Taste the olive salad and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set the salad aside to marinate while you prepare the rest of the sandwich.
Slice the gluten-free loaf in half horizontally and open so you have two halves.
Spread a generous layer of the olive salad over the cut side of each piece of bread.
Layer the provolone cheese, gluten-free salami, mortadella, and ham evenly over the bottom half of the loaf.
Place the top half of the bread over the fillings and gently press down to compact the layers.
Wrap the assembled sandwich tightly in plastic wrap. Allow the flavors to meld for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 4 hours for maximum flavor infusion.
Before serving, unwrap the sandwich and cut it into individual servings.
