I know all of us want to experience all the flavor exploding capability of the The Authentic Muffuletta. So, the best thing to do is to make the olive spread ahead of time. Allow your olive spread to marinate overnight for the best flavor! So start this early and give your flavor profile time to build up.

The Authentic Muffuletta is made with an authentic italian loaf with sesame seeds on top. Sometimes this specific kind of loaf can be difficult to locate. If that is the case you can substitute with sour dough bread as well. You do want to make sure that you get a round loaf!
