Step-by-Step Instructions for Classic Muffuletta Sandwich
- Start by finely chopping the green and black olives, capers, garlic, and any pickled vegetables of your choice. In a bowl, combine these ingredients with olive oil and vinegar. Mix well and cover the bowl with plastic wrap, allowing it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
- Once your olive salad is ready, take a sesame-seeded Muffuletta bread and slice it in half horizontally using a serrated knife. Set the top half aside.
- Layer generous slices of salami, ham, and mortadella onto the bottom half of the bread, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.
- Layer provolone and mozzarella cheese slices over the meats, covering them entirely.
- Spoon the marinated olive salad generously over the layered cheeses and meats, distributing it evenly.
- Place the top half of the Muffuletta bread over the olive salad and press down gently to combine the flavors.
- Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and let it rest at room temperature for a couple of hours or ideally overnight in the fridge.
- Unwrap the sandwich, slice it into wedges or halves, and serve at room temperature.
