How to Make Antipasto Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Slice the loaf of bread horizontally almost all the way through, creating a pocket. Don't cut all the way through, or the bread will fall apart.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the inside of the bread.
  5. Layer the mozzarella cheese, salami, prosciutto, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives inside the bread pocket.
  6. Sprinkle with fresh basil and black pepper.
  7. Wrap the bread tightly in aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
