In reply to Chris Thomas. Thank you for your kind words, Chris and welcome to our blog. I bet the rosemary focaccia bread was a great choice and probably made the sandwich taste even better! Thanks so much. Merry Christmas!

I love a good muffuletta. I had my first one in 1975 at the Central Grocery. Your recipe is very close to what I had in New Orleans. The only thing I do differently is that I add soppressata and capicola, probably due to the influence of the mothers and nonna’s of my Italian friends while growing up in New York City. I’m a retired head chef from NYC now living in SC. Finding ingredients, especially bread, is a real challenge here. I made this a few times for the church. What I used for bread was a modified version of my rosemary focaccia bread. The loaves are easy to make and it worked out really well. It really works well for a crowd. Thanks for a great recipe. God bless.

I hate to admit that I have never had a muffuletta sandwich! I can tell you that I love all of the flavors and adding arugula to a sandwich always makes it taste wonderful.

I'm so glad to hear that Tricia! We love it so much, my husband asks me to make it for him every week. Your veggie version sounds interesting also- I will have to put that on my list of things to do!
Thanks again. 🙂

I don't mind telling you that THIS is one of my favorite sandwiches ever. There used to be a restaurant in Chattanooga, TN that made the best muffuletta sandwich I've ever had. You could buy it in whole or half. I always wanted a whole sandwich so I could save half for later. I tried to create a veggie-only version and while it was good, it just can't replace all that delicious deli meat. This is a beautiful sandwich, gorgeous photos and now a craving that will be with me until I get another bite one day. The olive tapenade sends me over the moon! Thanks so much 🙂

In reply to Abbe@This is How I Cook. Thank you Abbe! My daughter doesn't care for olive salad, but she loved it in the sandwich. Have a great week!
