Ingredients

1 loaf of Italian bread

1 pound sliced salami

1 pound sliced ham

1 pound provolone cheese, sliced

1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced

1/2 cup banana peppers, sliced

1/4 cup balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cut the Italian bread in half horizontally and place the bottom half on a baking sheet.

Layer half of the salami, followed by half of the ham, and then half of the provolone cheese on the bread.

Add the roasted red peppers and banana peppers evenly over the cheese.

Layer the remaining salami, ham, and provolone, stacking them high.

Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top layer and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if using.

Brush the top half of the bread with olive oil and place it over the sandwich filling.

Wrap the entire sandwich in aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.

Remove from the oven, unwrap it, and let it cool for a few minutes.

Slice into individual sandwiches and serve warm, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
