Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering all your sandwich components for the Focaccia Grinder Sandwich. Slice the roasted tomato focaccia into two equal halves, creating a top and bottom piece.
  2. Spread a generous layer of pesto on the bottom piece of focaccia, then layer on the salami slices followed by the capicola, fitting them snugly.
  3. Place the provolone cheese over the meats, followed by the pepperoncini, adding a tangy crunch to the creation.
  4. Drizzle a light amount of Italian dressing over the layered ingredients without oversaturating the bread.
  5. Gently place the top slice of focaccia onto the assembled ingredients and apply slight pressure to compress the sandwich.
  6. Carefully slice the Focaccia Grinder Sandwich into wedges and serve immediately while still fresh.
