Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf round Sicilian bread loaf
- 2 cups olive salad
- 4 oz sliced mortadella
- 4 oz sliced Genoa salami
- 4 oz sliced ham
- 4 oz sliced provolone cheese
- 4 oz sliced mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Begin by preparing the olive salad, or if you have pre-made olive salad, measure out 2 cups. Assemble the ingredients and set aside.
Take the round Sicilian loaf and slice it horizontally, creating a top and a bottom half.
Evenly spread half of the olive salad on the cut side of the bottom half of the loaf.
Layer the meats starting with the mortadella, followed by the Genoa salami, and then the ham evenly over the olive salad.
Next, add layers of provolone cheese and then mozzarella cheese on top of the meats.
Spread the remaining half of the olive salad on the cut side of the top half of the loaf and carefully place it over the cheese layers on the bottom half, pressing down gently.
Wrap the entire sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Once ready to serve, slice the muffaletta into quarters. Enjoy!
