MUFFULETTA PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Pulse the olives in a food processor until finely chopped; transfer to a small bowl (be sure to scrape out every last bit). Wipe out the food processor bowl. Pulse the giardiniera in the processor until finely chopped; transfer to a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise and stir to combine.
• Put an 18-inch-long piece of plastic wrap on the counter. Arrange 9 slices of the bread on the plastic in a 3-piece-by-3-piece square, overlapping the pieces by 1/4 inch. Press the overlapping parts together firmly with your fingers so they stick together. Cover the bread with another 18-inch-long piece of plastic wrap, and roll over the bread several times with a rolling pin, pressing to adhere and flatten the bread. Remove the top piece of plastic, and spread half the giardinera mayonnaise over the bread in an even layer.
• Fold half the mortadella slices in half, and place them on the bottom third of the bread square. Place half the salami slices on the mortadella, then add half the provolone slices (overlap the slices in each row). Spread half the chopped olives evenly over the cheese.
• Tightly roll up the bread and filling, starting at the bottom, using the plastic wrap to keep it together and tucking the filling in tightly as you go. Tighten the plastic wrap at the ends and pinch the ends together until you have made a very tight roll. Repeat with the remaining 9 slices of bread and fillings. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours up to overnight.
• Unwrap the logs, and slice each into twelve 3/4-inch slices.

Transfer the vegetable mixture to a small bowl and stir in the olives, pimento and salt. Set aside to cool.
• When the olive-vegetable salad has cooled, stir in the parsley.
• Slice the bread in half lengthwise. Using your hands, scoop out the inside of each bread half to make a shallow pocket. Brush the inside of the top half with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Fill the bottom bread half with the olive-vegetable salad and pack it down with your hands. Layer the provolone, mortadella and soppressata over the salad (without letting any hang over the sides).
• Cover with the top bread half and tightly wrap the sandwich with plastic wrap. Place the sandwich on a cutting board or baking sheet and weigh it down with a heavy object, such as a cast-iron skillet, for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
