Description
The Classic Italian Muffuletta sandwich is a delightful creation from New Orleans, featuring layers of savory cured meats, creamy cheese, and a zesty olive salad, all nestled between a round sesame seed loaf.
Ingredients
- Round sesame seed bread: A large loaf, about 10-12 inches in diameter
- Salami: 100 grams, thinly sliced

- Ham: 100 grams
- Provolone cheese: 100 grams
- Olive salad: 1 cup
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Freshly ground black pepper: To taste
Instructions
- Prepare the olive salad by chopping a mix of green and black olives, adding minced garlic and chopped celery, then drizzling with olive oil.
- Slice the round sesame seed bread in half horizontally, scooping out some inner bread if desired.
- Layer the salami, mortadella, ham, and provolone cheese on the bottom half of the bread.
- Add the olive salad generously over the cheese layer, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with black pepper.
- Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich, press down gently, wrap it, and let it sit for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
