Step 3: Layer meats and cheese. One layer each (5 layers total). Then layer optional items.

Step 4: Put top on, then tightly wrap with plastic. Place in refrigerator with a plate on top. Keep cool for 3-4 hours.

Step 5: Remove and bring to room temperature.

Step 6: Slice like a pie in wedges. Serve with soup or salad. Vince recommends Minestrone or Lentil Soup and Romaine salad. Another yummy option? Escarole with Gorgonzola Ranch.

Note: Muffaletta has its origins in New Orleans, but is made from an Italian recipe using Caponata. That's a sweet/sour relish of eggplant, tomatoes, celery, olives and raisins.
It's built on a loaf of focaccia bread using Italian salamis and cheese. This sandwich has a shelf life of 1-3 days. Great for picnics!
