Instructions
PrintHeat oven to 350°F. Mix olives, olive oil, shallots, celery, parsley, garlic, and pepper. Cut bread in half horizontally; remove enough of soft bread from bottom half to make room for fillings. Fill bottom half of bread with half of olive mixture; top with layers of arugula, meats, and cheeses.
Top with remaining olive mixture. Replace top half of bread; wrap sandwich in foil. Bake muffaletta until warmed throughout and cheese is melted, 20–30 min. Sandwich can also be served at room temp.; let stand at least 1 hr. for flavors to blend.
