Picnic lunches don't have to be a bland affair. A batch of these sourdough sandwiches make a delicious deli-style treat.

Ingredients

1 loafSourdough bread (Main)
1 cloveGarlic clove
1Ham on the bone, (off the bone optional)
1 leafFresh basil
1Artichoke, (marinated halfs)
1Provolone cheese
1Vine-ripened tomatoes
1Sea salt flakes
1Freshly ground black pepper
1 to drizzleExtra virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. Slice the top off the bread. Pull out most of the centre of the bread and reserve for making breadcrumbs.
  2. Cut the garlic clove in half and rub all over the inside.
  3. Using as much of each ingredient as you desire, layer each filling inside the bread, pressing down as you go, season intermittently. Be generous with the filling and fill right to the top.
  4. Lastly drizzle with oil and replace the top of the loaf.
  5. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and leave overnight in the fridge, weighted down.
  6. Unwrap and slice before serving.
