1 loaf Muffuletta Bread [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sliced across4 ounces genoa salami4 ounces deli ham or spicy Capicola ham4 ounces Mortadella (an Italian-style bologna)4 ounces mozzarella cheese4 ounces provolone cheeseOlive Salad
A flattened, round loaf of bread topped with sesame seeds and a selection of Italian meats and cheeses are fairly common. What makes each Muffuletta unique is the Olive Salad that is used to dress the sandwich. The only common ingredient from kitchen to kitchen is the use of olives.
While there is any number of submarine or grinder sandwiches throughout the United States, the Muffuletta has its distinctive roots in New Orleans. Central Grocery on Decatur Street takes credit for creating the Muffuletta in 1906. Today there are as many variations of the Muffuletta as there are restaurants.
