Directions

The roasted red peppers are Italian-style, available at many Italian delis. When you're ready for a sandwich the next day, assemble the following:

One loaf fresh Italian bread (one big round for a monster, individual hero (grinder, sub,...) loaves will do fine for smaller sandwiches) Cut the loaf (loaves) in half, and scoop out a little of the inside to make some room. Drizzle some of the olive oil and juice from the olive salad on each side of the open loaf -- use plenty. On the bottom, place some salami, olive salad, provolone, mild cheese, and mortadella. Top with the other half loaf. Slice into wedges (or eat the individual loaves).
