How to cook deliciously - Italian Stuffed Picnic Loaf

1 . Stage

Slice off the top of the boule and set it aside. Scoop the bread outside of the inside of the boule to create a bread bowl. Reserve the scooped-out bread for another use, like snacking.

2 . Stage

Lay folded ham slices in the bottom of the bread bowl. Top with provolone, artichoke hearts, mozzarella and tomatoes. Drizzle balsamic vinegar and olive oil over tomatoes then season with salt and pepper. Top with basil, salami and lettuce, then cover with the reserved top of the boule.

3 . Stage

Slice into 4 to 6 wedges, depending on the size of your loaf. Serve cold or at room temperature.
