Er...what is it?
Lolol ya dang nut!!! ๐
muffuletta is both a type of round Sicilian sesame bread and a popular sandwich originating among Italian immigrants in New Orleans, Louisiana using the same bread with an amazing creole olive salad dressing...Its the bread that does it..
1 large round bread loaf, 8- to 9-inches in diameter, no matter what kind you use it just ainโt New Orleans made darlin...Sorry~~
1 cup Creole olive salad
4 ounces salami, thinly sliced
4 ounces cappicola, thinly sliced
4 ounces mortadella, or deli ham, thinly sliced
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
4 ounces provolone, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
Pickled pepperoncini, for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Slice bread loaf in half, horizontally, and remove enough of crumb to make room for fillings. Layer the olive salad, meats and cheeses on bottom half of bread, drizzle with olive oil, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Replace top half of bread and wrap sandwich in aluminum foil.
Bake until muffaletta is warmed throughout and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.The sandwich can also be served at room temperature. Allow it to sit for at least 1 hour for the flavors to marry and the oil to soak into the bread...
