Step #1 Cut the baguette in half, then rub the cut surfaces with the garlic; discard the clove.
Step #2 Brush 1-1 1/2 tbsps of olive oil over each half of bread, lay the tomato slices on top of one half & season well.
Step #3 Lay the sliced peppers on the tomatoes making sure there is a good even coverage; drizzle the remaining oil over the top.
Step #4 Finish off by layering over the slices of cheese, olives & basil leaves; sandwich the loaf together firmly & wrap it in cling film for at least an hr.
Step #5 Serve cut diagonally in thick slices.
