Ingredients
– 1 round sesame-seeded loaf (10-12 inches)

– 6 ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced
– 1 cup olive salad (mix of green and black olives, garlic, celery, carrots, herbs)
Instructions
1. Prepare your ingredients by slicing the bread in half horizontally without cutting all the way through.
2. Toast the bread lightly if desired. Spread half of the olive salad on one half of the bread.
3. Layer mortadella, salami, and provolone cheese on top of the olive salad. Add remaining olive salad before topping with the other half of the bread.
4. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour (ideally overnight) to allow flavors to meld.
5. Slice into wedges before serving.
Notes
– For added flavor, consider including roasted red peppers or pepperoncini as additional toppings.
