Directions:
Make the Olive Salad:
In a large bowl, combine the green olives, black olives, roasted red peppers, capers, celery, red onion, and garlic.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the olive mixture and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Assemble the Sandwich:
Slice the loaf of Italian bread horizontally and hollow out some of the interior to create space for the fillings.
Spread half of the olive salad on the bottom half of the bread.
Layer the mortadella, ham, salami, provolone, and mozzarella on top of the olive salad.
Spread the remaining olive salad on the top half of the bread.
Place the top half of the bread over the fillings and press down firmly. Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Slice into wedges and serve.
