How to make it

  • Cut the top off the loaf of bread and scrape out most of the loaf to make it hollow. The bits can be used to soak up any pesto that is left or to dip in olive oil for a good snack.
  • Spread some of the pesto in the bottom of the bread hollow
  • Layer in prosciutto, cheese and tomatoes followed by more pesto. Repeat until the loaf is full.
  • Replace lid and press down slightly.
  • Wrap the sandwich in foil or parchment and weigh down in the bottom of the picnic basket or just leave it as is.
  • Cut into 4-6 wedges and serve. (The cutting can be done before travel and then just put it back together to transport it.)
  • We like to take this when we travel - it makes a great lunch on the road, just stop at a park, or a rest area, and eat.

    I typically get 3-4 layers (prosciutto, pesto, tomato, cheese) out of those ingredients. Depends on how thinly you slice the cheese and prosciutto.
