Italian Sub
Jump to Recipe
So a few weeks ago I posted about my new favorite bread recipe, the Italian Garlic Loaf. It’s soft, flavorful, a little crispy on the outside… everything a good slice of bread should be. It actually reminded me of Subway’s bread, which got me to thinking- why not make my own sub sandwich? Only better, because… we’re not going to use a grimy microwave to heat this up!
This Italian sub is loaded with various meats, Provolone cheese, pesto, Banana Peppers, and Tomatoes. It’s just savory and hearty in all the right places!
It can be served hot and melty or cold and crisp- it’s totally your call! This would be great for a hearty lunch or dinner, and it would be easy to double the bread recipe and grab a few more of the topping ingredients and serve it to a large group!
Let me know if you make this by commenting below, or tagging me @theflouredcountertop. Don’t forget to pin this recipe to use for later, too!
