Slice the Italian bread loaf in half horizontally. Hollow out a bit of the bread from both the top and bottom to create more space for the fillings, leaving a good crust around the edges.
Season the Bread:
Brush the cut sides of the bread with olive oil.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and dried basil evenly over the olive oil, giving the bread an aromatic, herbaceous flavor.
Layer the Meats and Cheeses:
On the bottom half of the bread, layer the turkey ham, beef salami, and mortadella evenly, covering the entire surface.
Add a layer of provolone cheese and mozzarella cheese over the meats.
Add the Olive Salad:
Spoon the olive salad generously over the cheese layer. If using, add the sliced pepperoncini peppers for an extra tangy flavor.
Assemble the Sandwich:
Place the top half of the bread onto the filled bottom half, pressing down gently to compact the sandwich.
Slice and Serve:
Slice the sandwich into wedges, and serve. Enjoy the incredible combination of flavors in every bite!
