For the sandwich
- 1 round muffuletta loaf or large round italian sesame bread (about 9–10 inches), halved horizontally

Instructions
- 1
Make the olive salad: combine the green olives, kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini, capers, garlic, parsley, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil and red wine vinegar and stir until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed — the olives and capers are already quite salty.

Using a large serrated knife, halve the muffuletta loaf horizontally. Pull out a little of the soft interior crumb from both halves to create a shallow well — this keeps the sandwich from being too bready and gives the olive salad somewhere to settle.
