My husband and I entertain quite a bit, either around our pool at home or at our log cabin. I especially like to serve this zesty sandwich loaf during the cooler months.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 unsliced loaf (1 pound) italian bread
6 slices mozzarella cheese
6 thin slices tomato
6 thin slices salami
6 thin slices red onion
12 thin slices pepperoni
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; set aside. Make 11 slices in the bread, not cutting all the way though bottom crust. Place loaf on a piece of foil large enough to wrap it completely. Gently separate every other slice and spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise mixture on cut surfaces. Insert cheese, tomato, salami, onion and pepperoni between every other slice. Wrap the foil tightly around loaf; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. To serve, cut bread between unstuffed slices; serve warm. Yield: 6 servings.
