A giant sandwich? Am I crazy for putting a sandwich on a blog? Trust me, I’m not! This sandwich may sound like a lot of work, but it’s definitely worth it in the end. My family had it for supper one night, and one loaf of bread was surprisingly enough for all four of us. Just one warning: it’s messy, so bring plenty of napkins to the table!
Servings: 1 giant sandwich. Cuisine: Italian.
Total time: 15-20 minutes.

Ingredients:
1 loaf of thick bread. (You can use this recipe, just make it into one loaf!)
1 6.7 oz jar of basil pesto
8 oz block of whole milk mozzerella cheese, sliced into strips
Olive oil
Salami (not tiny, as you don’t want it to fall off!)
Sandwich ham
Pepperoni
Proscuitto
---
Roasted red peppers in oil
Red onion, sliced
Large tomato, sliced thickly
Salt and pepper to taste
Canned Banana peppers
---
Mixed greens (any kind will do)
Olive oil
Red wine vinegar
Dried oregano
Directions:
In a small bowl, place greens. Add a small amount of both olive oil and red wine vinegar. Add some dried oregano and stir. Set aside.
Slice bread in half lengthwise. Slather with pesto- I used the whole jar. On the top piece, place mozzerella and drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top. Layer the meat thickly on the other side.
Place both sides of the bread under the broiler until cheese has melted. When the bread comes out, add the roasted red peppers, sliced red onions, and tomato slices to the meat side. Sprinkle a good amount of salt and some pepper over the tomatoes. Add banana peppers. Place greens on top.
Set the cheese side of the bread on top of the other side. Carefully slice into sandwich-sized portions. Enjoy!
