Equipment

  • 2 baking sheets, cans for pressing

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf ciabatta or other rustic bread of choice
  • 2 pounds deli meats of choice I used cracked pepper turkey, pepperoni, and black forest ham.
  • ½ pound provolone or cheese of choice
  • red onions
  • lettuce of choice I used mixed baby greens
  • 1 can sliced green olives
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon oregano

Instructions

  • Cut your ciabatta in half lengthwise. Fill with your meats, cheese, onions, lettuce, and olives.
  • Make your dressing by mixing olive oil, balsamic, minced garlic, and oregano. Pour over the bread.
  • Wrap the loaf tightly in saran wrap. Place on a baking sheet, then another on top and move into the fridge. Weight it down by placing cans on the top baking sheet. Leave this overnight at least.
  • When it is pressed and ready, remove the saran wrap and slice for serving,
  • Now, sit back and enjoy. You deserve it!
