Ingredients

  • 1 sourdough 1000g round loaf
  • 1 pack WELLY ham slices
  • 8 slices of Swiss cheese
  • 30g fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 pack of Mozzarella (fresh mozzarella is best but sliced is fine)
  • 4 mild chopped pickled chillies
  • 8 sliced Italian pickled Borettane onions in balsamic vinegar
  • 100g roasted onions
  • 150g roasted red pepper strips (the jarred roast peppers are fine)
  • 80g green pesto
  • 20g olive oil
  • 20g balsamic vinegar

Ingredients

Carefully slice the lid from the loaf and hollow out as much of the soft bread as possible leaving a bread shell, (tip - do not throw the bread away, freeze and save for stuffing!)

Spread the pesto all over the inside of the loaf and lightly sprinkle with olive oil and vinegar

Layer all the cheeses (break up the mozzarella into chunks if using fresh) spinach, ham, onions, pickles and peppers, lightly pressing each layer

Place the lid on and cover with cling film, Press between 2 plates and place a weight on top (this helps keep the Muffaletta together when slicing)

Place in the fridge for 2 hours before slicing into wedges
