Love Schlotzsky's sandwiches, but this recipe should have both genoa & cotto salami as that's on their original sandwich. Schlotzsky's muffaletta bread rocks!! You might want to correct your spelling of muffaletta to get more search hits.

Don't know who this Schlotzky is, but he seems to have the right idea on this sandwich. My only suggestion is that cheap old bologna would have been better than the fancy Mortadella and it gets buried in the sandwich anyway. The Creole Olive Salad was complex and balanced and a great complement to the stack of meat and cheese. Made for Zaar World Tour 5.
