Steps:

• Cut the bread horizontally into 5 slices.
• Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on your work surface, the place the bottom layer of bread in the center.
• Spread with a thin coat of mayonnaise (all layers will get a thin coat- this keeps the bread from getting soaked with juices), 1/2 the romaine, the roasted red peppers and the onion.
• Add the next slice of bread, coat with mayonnaise, then all the provolone and salami.
• Add the next slice, coat with mayo, then the remaining romaine, and the mortadella.
• Next slice, mayo, tomato, coppa.
• Top with the last slice of bread, press down on the sandwich lightly with your hands.

ANTIPASTI SANDWICH

Steps:

• Sprinkle a double layer of paper towels with salt and place zucchini on top. Sprinkle with salt and roll up like a newspaper. Let sit 10 minutes to draw out excess liquid.
• Over a low gas flame or under the broiler, roast bell pepper until skin is charred, 10 minutes, turning frequently. Place in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let sit 10 minutes. Rub bell pepper with a paper towel to remove skin, then core, discard seeds, and slice flesh into strips.
• Pull out about 2 cups bread from inside loaf halves. In a food processor, combine beans, garlic, lemon juice, and oil and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Completely cover inside of both bread halves with an even layer of bean puree.
• Arrange zucchini on bottom half of bread. Top with mortadella, parsley, roasted pepper, artichokes, Parmesan, and pepperoncini. Sandwich with top half of bread and wrap tightly in plastic. Place on a baking sheet in refrigerator. Place another baking sheet on top and weight with several heavy cans. Let sit at least 3 hours (or up to overnight). To serve, unwrap and cut into wedges with a serrated knife.
