  • Cutting Board
  • Baking sheet (optional for toasting).

Ingredients
  

  • 1 long loaf Italian bread.
  • 1/2 pound Genoa salami.
  • 1/2 pound pepperoni slices.
  • 1/2 pound deli ham.
  • 4 slices provolone cheese.
  • 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce.

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise.

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano.

Instructions
 

  • Slice your Italian loaf lengthwise. Do not cut all the way through.
