Start with a fresh loaf of bread and pile the sandwich fillings high. Wrap tightly, chill in the fridge and place something heavy on top and squish it!

It is important to let the flavors develop while this chills in the fridge. I made the recipe as called for, but there are additional ingredients listed at the end of the recipe that you can add to give it a twist. I happened to have a butter and garlic dipping sauce leftover from a pizza order, so I dipped my sandwich in that and it was amazing. Ready for the recipe?

I think the sandwich as made in the original recipe is great, but needs a little zip of extra flavor, perhaps by adding pepperoncini peppers or sandwich sliced pickles. Please look at the end of the recipe for more addition ideas.
