BEST MUFFULETTA RECIPE | NEW ORLEANS STYLE | HOT AND CRISPY

Video Description

Hi my friends. Don't let this short video fool you. It's a spot on recipe to make one of the best Muffuletta sandwiches you'll ever eat. Believe me when I say, I am from New Orleans. I've eaten my share of Muffulettas. My family is from Sicily. My mom always made her own olive salad. Today, my sister and other members of my family make their own olive salad. For this recipe, I used a store bought olive salad. My family all loves a good Muffuletta. So what makes a great Muffuletta. First, its got to be served hot! Crispy bread and melted cheese. The Olive salad has got to be good. The meats must be fresh. And a Muffuletta is always best eaten right out of the oven. The full recipe is below: INGREDIENTS 1 Loaf of Muffuletta bread 1/3 cup EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 Cup Italian Olive Salad 8 Slices Genoa Salami 4 Slices Mortadella 2-3 large Slices Prosciutto or ham 4 slices Swiss cheese 4 slices Provolone cheese Pizza Stone or Cast Iron Pizza Pan (link below) INSTRUCTIONS With Pizza Pan in the oven, we preheated the oven to 425°F. Cut the Muffuletta bread in half. Open it up on the cutting board insides facing up. On the bottom: Drizzle the olive oil on the bottom only. We used a squirt bottle to spread it evenly. On top of the olive oil, put: 4 slices of Salami. Next, a layer of ham slices. Now 4 slices of Swiss Cheese, 4 slices of Mortadella, and another layer of 4 slices Genoa Salami. ON THE TOP Spread the full cup of Olive salad. Cover with Provolone cheese. We used 4 slices of Provolone over the olive salad. When it melted over the olive salad, it actually kept the salad from falling off when we flipped it over. I used a pizza peel to get both parts of the Muffuletta in the oven at the same time. We coated the peel with some cornmeal to help the bread to slide. Inside the oven we used a Lodge Cast Iron Pizza Pan. The link is below. Slide the breads on top of the Pizza Pan and bake for only 8 minutes. Take it out when the cheese is melted and the bread is crunchy. Put both halves together and slice. Traditionally a Muffuletta is cut into quarters. You can certainly cut into smaller pieces if you wish. Served with a side salad of Italian or Greek. Chefs Note: You can also put some dry Italian seasoning over the olive salad to give it more flavor. This is the best Muffuletta sandwich I've ever had. https://a.co/d/434euqc Please like and Subscribe. Share our videos with your friends and family.
