Dinner Sandwich For Tomorrow

It's going to be a busy week!  Everyone is still recovering from the last holiday, while preparing for the next one.
So this week, when you have a little extra time one evening, make dinner for tomorrow.

Dinner Sandwich for tomorrow.

Start with a large round loaf of bread. Cut 3/4 inch of the top of the loaf off.
Dig into the bread bottom, removing all but 1/2 to 3/4 inch on the side and bottom .
(Save the dug out portions to use for bread crumbs or another recipe)
Drizzle the inside of the bread and the top that you cut off with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Now comes your creative part.  The inside can be filled with anything you like.

There is just a couple rules:
Don't use anything too 'wet'. Stewed tomatoes are out. but tomato slices are fine.
Don't put two 'wet' ingredients together. For example, don't put tomatoes next to a layer of mayonnaise.
Do Season well

Some ideas to fill with:
Deli meat such as Ham or Turkey or Salami

Cheeses: Swiss, Cheddar or American
Tomatoes
Roasted Red Peppers
Olive slices or Taponade (Olive Paste)
Lettuce
Pickles
Herbs
Sprouts: Bean, Alfalfa, Broccoli
Artichokes
Cucumbers
Mayonnaise
Mustard
Salt, pepper, seasoning powders
Anything else you want to utilize

Remembering the rules; layer the cavity of the bread with your chosen ingredients.
Place the top back on the round loaf.
TIGHTLY wrap the entire loaf in plastic wrap and set in a dish.
Weight the sandwich down with a plate and a large heavy can from the cupboard.
Wait at least 12 hours before slicing and serving the sandwich.
