Ingredients

  • 2 cans (11 Oz. Each) Refrigerated Crusty French Bread Dough
  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Pressed
  • 1/2 teaspoons Dried Italian Seasoning
  • 13 cups Italian Salad Dressing (regular, Reduced Fat Or Fat-free)
  • 13 pounds Thinly Sliced Deli Turkey
  • 13 pounds Thinly Sliced Deli Roast Beef
  • 13 pounds Thinly Sliced Deli Ham
  • 1/4 pounds Sliced Processed American, Swiss Or Provolone Cheese, Halved
  • 2 cups Shredded Lettuce
  • 1 whole Medium Red Onion, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 whole Medium Green Bell Pepper, Thinly Sliced
  • 1 whole Medium Tomato, Thinly Sliced

Method

  • Place both loaves of dough seam side down on a greased 14 pizza pan, forming one large ring.
  • Then pinch the ends together to seal.
  • With a sharp knife, make eight 1/2 deep slashes across the top of the dough.
  • Set aside.
  • Mix garlic into the olive oil.
  • Brush the mixture on the top of the bread and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
  • Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes or until golden.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To assemble, cut bread in half horizontally.
  • Brush the cut sides with salad dressing.
  • Layer the bottom half with turkey, roast beef, ham, cheese, lettuce, onion, green pepper and tomato.
  • Then replace the top half of the bread.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • Yields 8-10 servings.
  • Note: To kick up the sandwich, after brushing the cut sides of the bread with Italian dressing, add your favorite mustard (we LOVE jalapeno mustard!)
  • to one cut side of the bread and mayonnaise and Miracle Whip on the other cut side.
