italian sub

Slice up your favorite sub bread. Layer on the salami, ham and provolone cheese. 

INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE AN ITALIAN SUB SANDWICH:

• 2 loaves, French bread, sliced lengthwise down the middle
• ½ lb, salami or pepperoni
• ½ lb, deli sliced ham
• ½ lb, provolone cheese slices
• 1 tomato, thinly sliced
• ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
• olive oil and Italian seasoning, to taste
• Optional, for topping: ½ cup, Barilla Tomato Rosa Sauce

HOW DO YOU MAKE AN ITALIAN SUB SANDWICH:

1. Preheat oven or toaster oven to 425 degrees.
2. Slice loaves of bread into approx. 1-2″ slices, then slice in half and open up.
3. Drizzle olive oil on inside of bread slices.
4. Add a slice of cheese, a few slices of the deli meats (salami and ham), and another slice of cheese to the bottom of each pair of bread slices.
5. Pop all bread (olive oil side up) into oven and heat until cheese is melting and bread is toasting on the edges.
6. Remove sandwiches from oven.
7. Top each with a few pieces of red onion and a slice of tomato.
8. Add any other toppings you prefer: a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, Barilla Tomato Rosa sauce, olive oil and vinegar, and/or mayo.
9. Serve with extra sauce & toppings.

Toast up the sandwich at this point, until the cheese is melted.

Add some tomato slices, red onion, and then spread on your favorite toppings. Finish off with a light drizzle of olive oil and devour!

I usually slice up the subs into 2-3″ portions so they are easy for the kids to handle, and they’re fun to serve to guests this way! These sandwiches are so “fancy,” you can serve them for a party or tailgate and your guests will really be impressed.

handy tools to easily make these italian sub sandwiches:

• serrated knife – slice things without crushing them, sharp, dishwasher safe
• sheet pan – best non-stick, heavy duty, last forever

We love the Barilla Tomato Rosa sauce as a flavorful topping, but you can add whatever your family likes best– including oil and vinegar or even mayo.
