Giant Muffaletta Italian Sandwich: A Flavorful Feast for the Senses

Slice the Italian bread loaf in half horizontally, creating the top and bottom of the sandwich.
Use a spoon to gently scoop out some of the soft interior of the bread to make room for the fillings.
2. Season the Bread
Brush the cut sides of the bread with olive oil.
Sprinkle the oregano and basil evenly over the oil to infuse the bread with flavor.
3. Layer the Ingredients
Start by layering the turkey ham, followed by the salami, mortadella, provolone cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
Add a generous layer of olive salad on top of the cheese. If using, add the pepperoncini peppers for a tangy kick.
4. Assemble the Sandwich
Place the top half of the bread over the layers of meat, cheese, and salad, pressing down gently to compress the sandwich.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Slice the sandwich into wedges or halves and serve immediately, or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and let it sit for a few hours for the flavors to meld together.
