Instructions

Start by splitting your French baguette horizontally and generously spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half. Begin your sandwich build with a layer of Provolone cheese, using up half of your slices.
On top of the cheese, arrange your deli meats, starting with the ham, followed by the salami, and finally the mortadella.
Continue your sub by layering the remaining Provolone cheese slices, hen generously add the shredded romaine lettuce, tomato slices, and thinly sliced red onion. Add a tangy bite with the banana peppers, scattering them evenly across the sandwich. Drizzle your Italian dressing over everything to add that quintessential zesty flavor.
Crown your sandwich with the top half of the baguette. To serve, cut the sandwich into four or six equal pieces, depending on your preference.

Notes

Cheese under and over the meat helps keep the bread from getting soggy.
Mortadella adds classic Italian flavor, but capicola or pepperoni work too.
Wrap tightly and refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days. Add lettuce and tomato just before serving.
To serve warm, wrap in foil and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
