I wasn't sure what to expect, since I've never eaten a muffuletta before, but this was really good! I made the olive salad (plus the anchovy, of course -- love 'em!), and I used big sandwich rolls instead of a whole loaf. Loved all the flavors in this! Thanks for posting! Made for The Hot Pink Panthers for ZWT9

I enjoyed this sandwich, before it went out of business, at a place called Dominic's in Shreveport, La. It was my favorite sandwich ever!! I would eat there every time I visited the area and was heartbroken when I learned it went out of business. This recipe is so close to the taste that I loved about the restaraunt muffuletta. I didn't add anchovies, only because I forgot to buy them. Next time I will add them. I made extra olive salad to have on hand. Thank you PanNan for posting this delicious recipe!!

My husband & I just returned from New Orleans & Of course I had to have a muffuletta!! I bought some olive salad from a market and used that.I had also bought some lg Kaiser rolls (unless you are serving more that 1 person the Kaiser rolls work well cuz the Italian loaf makes "alot")and the sandwich was the perfect size for just one. I layered mine with mortadella, capicola, Genoa salami & the provolone. I did use your suggestion of brushing with the oil and toasting lightly.I felt like I was back in the Big Easy...YUMMY!!!!!

I made this for *Zaar World Tour III* - I had to change this quite a bit to suit my dietary requirements and what I had at home. I used turkey breast because I don't eat salami or ham and I used a cheese bun instead of Italian bread. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly oh except I didn't have giardiniera so I used pickled zucchini. This was delicious and I will be making this again. Thank you PanNan
