My Italian family loves this recipe! A crusty loaf of Italian bread is cut in half, and layered with olives, and various meats and cheeses.

Muffuletta Sandwich

(1 pound) loaf fresh Italian bread

olive oil

Parmesan cheese

basil

oregano

black olives,

green olives, chopped

salami

provolone cheese, sliced

mozzarella cheese, sliced

Slice bread in half lengthwise. Drizzle olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle both sides with Parmesan cheese, basil, and oregano.


On the bottom half, layer chopped black olives and chopped green olives, then the salami, ham, provolone, and mozzarella. Cover with top layer, and cut into 4 servings.


WOW - what a sandwich! We got Italian bread from one of our favorite bakeries and this was fabulous! I threw some kalamata olives into the mix and used high quality meats and cheeses for this. It was very good and very filling!

You'll get much more flavor if you actually mix the olive salad together with the herbs and let it marinate in the fridge prior to making the sandwich. Also, a muffaletta is served on sourdough. 

WOW! I thought I'd go out on a whim and try this... I went to the grocery got home threw it all together (in no time) and it was GREAT! Instead of olives (don't care for them on sandwiches) I used banana peppers AND I heated it in the over for about 10 mins. so the cheese would melt and the bread would get just a little crispy. Loved it and so did my husband! Thanks for sharing!!

I made these for the AFC Championship game and they were excellent. I did add a little Italian dressing to the olive mix only because I always do that. They had such a nice flavor! Go Pittsburgh!

I hate olives but LOVE this sandwich! I don't use the mozzarella cheese as the provolone is plenty cheesy enough. You can buy olives already chopped. I cut the finished loaf into 8th's and put on a platter. Guests think I ordered from a gourmet shop!!

I drizzled the bread with garlic oil just like I do for my Sub Sandwiches We really liked these. Thanks Suzanne I can now make two sandwiches my Grandchildren rave about.

this is my favorite sandwich after eating it i love it..

This sandwich is also delicious if you chop up giardiniera (pickled vegetables) and add in with the olives as the spread. This gives it a bit of kick. YUM!

I'm no muffuletta expert and frankly I don't care if this is authentic or not! This is a great sandwich!! I scaled this down to two servings for Hubs and me. I combined the parmesan basil oregano and olives and just drizzled with enough olive oil to moisten the mixture. For two little sandwiches I thought the amount of basil and oregano (used fresh) might be too much so I scaled that back. I spread it on the bread and layered the rest of the ingredients using only the provolone and no mozzarella. I wanted this to be a warm sandwich so I wrapped the loaf in non-stick foil and baked at 350 for about 20 minutes. Great sandwich!! We ll look forward to doing this one again! Thanks Mary48!!
