Directions To make the olive condiment:
- In a medium bowl, combine the two types of olives, black mission olives, cauliflower, capers, celery, carrot, cocktail onions, celery seed, oregano, basil, black pepper, balsamic vinegar, and basil olive oil.
- Mix together and transfer mixture into a glass jar (or another nonreactive container). If needed, pour in more oil to cover.
- Cover jar or container and refrigerate at least overnight.
To Make Sandwiches:
- Cut bread in large triangles. Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts olive salad, including oil.
- Layer 'bottom half' of each loaf with 1/2 of the salami, ham, mortadella, mozzarella, and Provolone. Replace 'top half' on each loaf and cut sandwich into quarters.
- Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few hours.
