Weighting the assembled sandwiches helps to soften the bread and compress the layers, so the sandwiches are easier and neater to eat.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 round or oval loaves country bread (1 pound each), split and hollowed
1 jar (12 ounces) oil-packed roasted red peppers
12 ounces salami, thinly sliced
12 ounces provolone cheese, thinly sliced
2 bunches arugula, (about 6 ounces each), washed well and thick stems removed (about 10 cups)

Steps:

  • Brush cut sides of halved bread loaves with oil from jar of roasted peppers. Dividing evenly, layer bottom bread halves with roasted peppers, salami, cheese, and arugula; top with remaining bread halves.
  • Wrap each sandwich tightly with plastic, and press: Lay wrapped sandwiches on a baking sheet. Position another baking sheet on top, and weight with heavy canned goods or a large skillet. Let stand for one hour, pressing down occasionally with hands.
  • Refrigerate wrapped sandwiches until ready to serve, up to 1 day. To serve, cut into wedges.
