Signor Lupo Salvadore established Central Grocery in New Orleans, LA and is credited with the creation of the muffaletta. Then there is the counter-claim that Bartolomeo Perrone, owner of Progress Grocery, invented the muffaleta. Either way, the sandwich is incredible.

Steps:
- To make the olive salad: combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl; stir well to combine; cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to blend.
- Bring to room temperature before using.
- To make the oregano onions: separate onion rings and place in a mixing bowl, add in remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
- To make the sandwich: all ingredients should be brought to room temperature before assembling the sandwich.
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Slice the loaf of muffaletta bread in half horizontally; place bread on a baking sheet and heat in the oven for 5 minutes or until lightly toasted.
- Remove bread from oven; evenly distribute slices of mozzarella cheese on the top half and evenly distribute slices of provolone cheese on the bottom half.
- Return the bread to the oven and bake 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is softened but not melted; remove from oven.
- On the bottom half, layer the meats, beginning with the Genoa, then the mortadella, the capicolla, and finally the ham.
- Press down lightly on the meats to creat a level surface and spoon on the olive salad.
- Add oregano onions and drizzle with olive oil, if desired.
- Cover with top half of bread; slice into quarters and serve immediately.
