Giant Bundt Muffuletta Sandwich Recipes

GIANT BREAKFAST SANDWICH

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Prepare enough dough for 16 biscuits according to the biscuit mix package instructions. Pat the biscuit dough into an 8-inch-wide by 1/2-inch-thick disk and transfer to a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet. Brush the top of the biscuit with the cream.
• Bake on the top rack until golden and no longer wet on the inside, 25 to 30 minutes. Turn the biscuit out onto a cooling rack and wipe the skillet with paper towels.
• Form the sausage into an 11-inch circle on a piece of wax paper. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the cleaned skillet. Lift the sausage with the wax paper, flip it over into the skillet and carefully peel off the wax paper. Turn the heat to medium high and cook until browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Invert a large plate over the skillet. Using oven mitts, carefully flip the sausage onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet to cook on the other side, about 5 minutes more. Remove to a plate.
• Wipe out the skillet with paper towels, return to medium heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Crack the eggs one at a time into the skillet in a circle, overlapping very slightly. Once all the eggs are in, loosen the edges with a spatula. If the eggs are sticking, add up to 1 tablespoon of additional oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Slice the biscuit in half horizontally. Place the sausage patty on the cut side of the bottom piece, arrange the cheese slices on top of the sausage (a slight overhang is okay) and slide the hot eggs on top of the cheese. Drizzle the eggs with hot sauce and cover with the top of the biscuit. Finish with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if desired.

MUFFULETTA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Slice bread in half lengthwise. Drizzle olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle both sides with Parmesan cheese, basil, and oregano.
• On the bottom half, layer chopped black olives and chopped green olives, then the salami, ham, provolone, and mozzarella. Cover with top layer, and cut into 4 servings.

BUNDT PAN MEGA MUFFULETTA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 ½- to 10-inch Bundt pan (at least 10-cup capacity) with cooking spray. Place both rolls of dough in pan to create a ring around the center hole. Pinch ends of rolls to connect them. Do not slash dough.
• Bake until bread is browned and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. (When bread is done, the center should also reach about 200°F on an instant-read thermometer.) Turn bread out of pan onto a cooling rack and let cool completely, about 1 ¾ hours. Meanwhile, make olive salad.
• Stir together both kinds of olives, the roasted red peppers, chopped artichoke hearts, pepperoncini, capers, and garlic in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, vinegar, parsley, and oregano and stir to blend. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or longer until bread is thoroughly cool.
• With a long serrated knife, cut bread loaf in half crosswise. Using clean kitchen scissors or your fingers, hollow out bread about ½ inch deep from each bread loaf half, leaving 1/3 to ½ inch on the sides. (Save the scooped-out pieces of bread to make fresh breadcrumbs, if you like.)
• Drain olive salad in a fine strainer set over a small bowl. (Save olive oil mixture for dressing green salads.) Scoop olive salad into the hollowed-out bread halves and press it firmly into the bread. Top bottom bread half evenly with cheese and meats, folding as necessary to fit. Cover with arugula. Carefully invert top bread half onto the bottom half, pressing gently. Serve immediately, or wrap sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 3 days. (The flavors get better over time.) Cut into wedges to serve.

MINI MUFFULETTAS

Steps:

• For the spicy olive spread: Mix together the pimientos, olives, mayonnaise, peppers, vinegar, oregano, green onions, salt and pepper in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
• For the sandwiches: Without separating the rolls, slice the entire top off the set of Hawaiian rolls. Place the bottoms on a baking sheet.
• Lightly dress the iceberg in the olive oil and vinegar, then set aside.
• Smear the spicy olive spread on the bottom half of the rolls. Next, layer on half the meats and cheeses. Top with the iceberg, followed by the remaining meats and cheeses. Finally replace the top half of the rolls.
• Wrap with plastic wrap or foil and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to 24. Remove to a cutting board, then slice the rolls and serve.

GIANT SANDWICH

Steps:

• Cut bread horizontally into six slices. Spread bottom slice with horseradish; top with roast beef. Place the next slice of bread over beef; spread with mayonnaise and top with Swiss cheese. Add next slice of bread; spread with mustard and top with ham. Add the next slice of bread; top with bacon and American cheese. Add next slice of bread; top with tomato and onion., Spread butter on cut side of bread top; cover sandwich. Place on a baking sheet; loosely tent with heavy-duty foil. Bake at 400° for 12-14 minutes or until heated through. Carefully slice into wedges.

LAYERED SANDWICH COOKED IN A BUNDT PAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
• Butter bundt pan and then sprinkle sides and bottom of pan with sesame seeds.
• Roll two sheets of pastry into a 16 x 14- inch rectangle.
• In the first rectangle, make a 3-inch cross shaped cut in the center. Place the cross cut over the center tube of the pan and very gently fit the pastry over the bottom and up the sides of the pan, pulling the cross cut up about half-way up the tube.
• Layer one cup of cheese and half of the ham, turkey, onion and red peppers over the dough. Repeat layer; topping with the remaining cheese (1 cup).
• In the second rectangle of pastry cut a 3-inch cross cut in the center of the dough (as done in the first rectangle) and place center (cross cut) over the center of the tube pan, pinching the edges of the pastry sheets together to seal in the filling. Brush top with melted butter.
• Bake for 65-70 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 15 minutes and then invert onto serving plate.
• Can be served warm or at room temperature, cutting into wedges to serve.
