Ingredients

6-8 inch round bread loaf (Olive & Cheddar loaf)

8 slices provolone cheese

100g thinly sliced mild genoa salami

100g thinly sliced mortadella

100g thinly sliced capicola

2/3 – 1 cup muffuletta vegetable tapenade

1 cup arugula

Instructions

Slice the bread round in half and hollow out some of the inside, about a half-inch.
Spread each half of the bread with about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the muffaletta vegetable tapenade (the amount spread will depend on the size of the round bread loaf).
Layer the sandwich starting with 4 slices of provolone on the bottom slice. Then layer with the genoa salami, mortadella and capicola and arugula.
Layer the top half with the remaining 4 slices of provolone and then place the halves together.
Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Unwrap the sandwich and cut the muffaletta into 6-8 wedges (depending on the size of the bread loaf).
Serve!

TIPS

If you want to take this sandwich for a picnic, after slicing into wedges, wrap individually in plastic wrap for easy picnic transport.
If you can’t find muffaletta vegetable tapenade, giardiniera can be used instead as it is very similar.
Like a spicy kick to the sandwich? Opt for spicy genoa salami instead of mild.
