Notes

This Cajun muffuletta sandwich is one that can be enjoyed baked (with melty cheese) or eaten cold.
Allowing the muffaletta olive salad to soak together for those first 2 hours really helps the flavors come together.
You could place something heavy on top of the sandwich for those 2 resting hours to smush together.
Allowing the sandwich to rest for 2 hours before eating/baking helps the oils from the olive salad to soak into the bread just right.
