Instructions

6 steps

1
Slice the large round loaf of bread in half horizontally to create a top and bottom bun.

2
Spread half of the olive salad evenly across the bottom half of the bread, making sure to include the olive oil juices.
3
Layer the provolone cheese, mortadella, salami, and ham in overlapping even layers.
4
Spread the remaining olive salad on the top half of the bread and place it over the meats to close the sandwich.
5
Wrap the entire sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or foil.
6
Place a heavy skillet or weight on top of the wrapped sandwich for 1-2 hours to press it, allowing the olive juices to soak into the bread before slicing into wedges.
