marvelous mobile muffaletta
As this gets better the longer it sits, it's a great sandwich for tailgating, picnics or any occasion that requires pre-made delicacies. The trick is to make sure you press it with a good bit of weight during its "sitting". If pressed correctly, it will not fall apart when sliced. Enjoy!!

How To Make marvelous mobile muffaletta
-
Step 1Make Ahead Preparation: Prepare the Olive Salad and Vinaigrette dressing. (Both can be stored in the refrigerator for a few weeks.) If you prefer, you can use a bottled red-wine vinaigrette dressing.

Step 2Prepare the bread. Cut the top 1 inch of the bread loaf off horizontally. Set the top aside. Hollow out the bottom and top halves of the bread, leaving about 1" of the bread on the crust.

Step 3Spread some of the olive salad over the bread bottom and cut side of the bread top. Start layering in the ingredients as follows, occasionally drizzling with a little of the red wine vinaigrette dressing: meats, provolone, onion, lettuce, artichoke hearts, basil leaves, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzerella, remaining olive salad.
-
Step 4Carefully cover sandwich with the bread top. Wrap the Muffuletta tightly in plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator with a weight such as a foil wrapped brick or cast iron pan on the top. Sandwich should rest in the refrigerator for at least three hours or up to two days.
