    This is how I make my Italian subs, generally. After putting the meats, cheeses, and onions on the bread I toast the sub open-faced, in a convection oven at 325 for 6 minutes. Then take it out and keep building with the other fresh veg / dressing. I just prefer how the salami (and pepperoni as well sometimes) tastes with a little heat, and the cheese to be a little melty. Ups the flavor - for me. Great vid!

    Who says you shouldn't put lettuce on an Italian sub? I grew up in a VERY Italian neighborhood in the 1950's and every corner store had a good Italian sub whether the owners were Italian or not. They all served their subs with lettuce. Be that as it may that looks like a perfect Italian sub to me. Thanks.

Usually come in spicy or sweet varieties, both are great. Harder to find if you’re just picking up cold cuts from a supermarket, but if you have an Italian deli near you, no doubt you could get some there. Definitely worth a try, ya won’t be disappointed.

    Love a good Italian sub and you certainly have the right meats, cheese, veggies (yes I love shredded lettuce), dressing and the right bread is a must. HOWEVER...one thing that I would never add is salt. Each one of those meats is cured with SALT, the cheese SALT, the pickles SALT, the peppers SALT, the dressing SALT. I can see black pepper and oregano, but adding extra sodium (I believe there were three additional sprinkles of SALT) make this like a week's load of sodium. I doubt anyone would miss the additional salt.

You're taking care for every bite that can fall away with every bite.

    Beautiful! I would substitute Italian Cherry Peppers for those green peppers and eject the pickles, but it is a thing of beauty.

    My Italian godparents did it like this. Only, they would put the vinegrette or Italian dressing right onto the bread.. then smoosh the halves together a little bit.. then spread a little mayo & mustard. I still make my own subs this way. And like you, I use ham (sometimes prosciutto), mortadella, salami, and of course gabagool (I could make the sandwich with just the that 😋) and provolone.. then all the veggies. Hard to find a sandwich shop here in CA that can do it like this!

    Start with a good quality sub roll. Then put proshuto, capacola, pepperoni, provalone, shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, sliced pepperonchini or cherry peppers, roasted red peppers, onions, black olives, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, red wine vinager, and exta version olive oil. Tasty!

    I use a pretty dry-ish sturdy sub roll, often something like the $1 Walmart Italian loaf bread. I'll take the bread, sliced lengthwise, apply a coating of butter and minced garlic and lightly toast the bread in the oven, after which I let it completely cool down to room temperature or close to it. Great flavor profile. I lightly apply mayo with salt, pepper, and oregano on the bottom bread instead of the oil, so as not to get too sloppy, and allow leftovers to be kept in the fridge for a day or two, otherwise that's the same. I use cappicola, peppered salami, hot calabrese, and thinly sliced ham and turkey, or possibly roast beef. My sub has the cheese on the top bread instead of the bottom. I believe you absolutely add lettuce, and lightly season it as well. Instead of the onion, I make a relish of finely chopped red onion and orange bell pepper, thinly sliced cabbage, and some kind of hot pepper, and I marinate all that together for at least an hour in white vinegar, salt, and lime juice. That goes with the lettuce and tomato, just not as much tomato as he used (but if I have fresh tomatoes from my garden, I'll stack very thin slices like that; thin enough for the slices not to pull off when you bite into them). Then on the top bread, I apply the vinaigrette with salt, pepper, and oregano, sliced Claussen pickles, and some muffaletta olive salad, followed by the cheese. Then the two halves are put together. I then wrap it tightly either in paper or saran wrap, which is a crucial step in order to keep it tightly packed together, then wrap that in aluminum foil. It then goes into the coldest part of the refrigerator for at least two hours, so it tightens and crisps up nicely, and all the flavors and moisture migrate into each other. Room temperature cappicola and calabrese tend to get pulled off your sandwich on the bite unless it's nicely cold. Take it out, cut it for meal-sized portions, or slice it in two-to-three-inch sections for party appetizers. Every serving if you squeeze it from top and bottom reveals a juicy bite, a satisfying bit of crunch from the lettuce and relish, and as moist as the sandwich is, the bread is firm and intact, yet without being dry. I overstuff the sandwich so that meat and cheese flow somewhat over the sides. That way the edges and heel-ends of the sandwich are still full of delicious meat and cheese. In fact, people sometimes argue over the end pieces at our parties.
