SUB SANDWICH
Italian Hero Submarine
and Pinino Sandwich
All heroes are made with cold cuts and cheeses, and include one pound of meat and cheese per foot. They should be made with a crusty brick-oven-baked, one foot, Ciabatta bread loaf and it's appropriate to lightly spread with all these dressings (mayo, mustard, red wine vinegar and olive oil)
12 inch, Ciabatta Italian Bread Loaf
1/4 lb. Smoked ham
1/4 lb. Genoa salami
1/4 lb. Pepperoni
1/4 lb. Provolone cheese
Romaine lettuce
Sliced, fried red bell peppers (fry in some olive oil until tender)
Serve cold or; remove any lettuce, place sandwich on a baking sheet or piece of tinfoil and toast the prepared sub-sandwiches in a 400-F, 200-C preheated oven for 11-12 minutes. Add the lettuce back after heating is finished.
Optional: shredded lettuce, tomato slices, red onion slices, hamburger pickle slices, sliced black olives, hot peppers, salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar
An Italian sub, Italian combo, or Italian hoagie consists of Italian luncheon meats, typically; thin sliced capicola, "prosciutto cotto" (the Italian word for cooked ham,) and genoa salami, with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, oil, and vinegar. Thin sliced pepperoni and bologna are sometimes added, and less expensive ham is often substituted for capicola and prosciutto.
A completed sandwich can also be pressed flat with some of the outside crust sliced off then grilled as a Panino. Using lite olive oil or butter, lightly spread it on the outsides of buns and put the whole sandwich in a George Foreman grill or toast it in a frying pan.
Ciabatta bread loaf is a long Italian white bread. It is popular across Europe and in the United States, it is made from a very wet dough, often requiring machine-kneading, and a sour dough starter. After baking it is crusty on the outside.
