Giant Muffaletta Italian Sandwich

Print Recipe

A massive New Orleans-style muffaletta sandwich featuring a large round Italian loaf stuffed with layers of Italian meats, cheeses, and tangy olive salad for the ultimate party sandwich.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large 10-inch round Italian bread loaf
  • 2 cups olive salad (mix of green and black olives, giardiniera, roasted red peppers, capers, garlic, oregano, olive oil, and vinegar)
  • ½ lb capicola or deli ham, thinly sliced
  • ½ lb Genoa salami, thinly sliced
  • ½ lb mortadella, thinly sliced
  • ½ lb sliced provolone cheese
  • ½ lb sliced mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Slice the round bread loaf in half horizontally and open it on a flat surface. Brush both inner sides generously with olive oil from the olive salad or extra virgin olive oil.
  2. Layer the meats and cheeses on the bottom half: start with capicola or ham, followed by Genoa salami, mortadella, provolone, and mozzarella.
  3. Spread 1 cup of olive salad over the layered meats and cheeses, then top with the remaining 1 cup of olive salad on the top half of the bread.
  4. Place the top half of the bread over the filling and press down firmly. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, place a heavy object on top, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to compress.
  5. Unwrap and slice into 6-8 large wedges using a serrated bread knife. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Prepare the olive salad a day ahead for best flavor infusion. Use high-quality deli meats sliced thin for easier layering. This giant sandwich serves a crowd perfectly for parties.
