Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few hours; this will allow for the flavors to mingle and the olive salad to soak into the bread.
Step 2
Make the olive salad: Roughly chop together green olives, Kalamata olives, pepperoncini, cauliflower, cocktail onions, garlic, capers, celery, and carrot.
Step 3
Combine with oregano, basil, black pepper, and celery seed in a medium bowl. Add in olive oil, canola oil, and vinegar. Mix together and transfer the mixture into a glass jar (or other nonreactive container). Pour in more oil to cover if needed.
Step 4
Cover jar or container and refrigerate at least 8 hours to overnight.
Step 5
Make the sandwiches: Cut loaves of bread in half horizontally; hollow out some of the excess bread to make room for filling.
Step 6
Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts of the olive salad, including oil.
Step 7
Layer bottom half of each loaf with 1/2 of the salami, ham, mortadella, mozzarella, and Provolone slices.
Step 8
Replace top half on each loaf and cut the sandwiches into quarters.
