Muffaletta Pinwheels
- 1/2 cup pimento-stuffed green olives
- 1 cup drained giardiniera
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 18 thin slices packaged white bread, crusts removed
- 1/2 pound sliced mortadella
- 1/3 pound sliced salami
- 1/4 pound sliced provolone
- Pulse the olives in a food processor until finely chopped; transfer to a small bowl (be sure to scrape out every last bit).
- Wipe out the food processor bowl.
- Pulse the giardiniera in the processor until finely chopped; transfer to a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise and stir to combine.
- Put an 18-inch-long piece of plastic wrap on the counter.
- Arrange 9 slices of the bread on the plastic in a 3-piece-by-3-piece square, overlapping the pieces by 1/4 inch.
- Press the overlapping parts together firmly with your fingers so they stick together.
- Cover the bread with another 18-inch-long piece of plastic wrap, and roll over the bread several times with a rolling pin, pressing to adhere and flatten the bread.
- Remove the top piece of plastic, and spread half the giardinera mayonnaise over the bread in an even layer.
- Fold half the mortadella slices in half, and place them on the bottom third of the bread square.
- Place half the salami slices on the mortadella, then add half the provolone slices (overlap the slices in each row).
- Spread half the chopped olives evenly over the cheese.
- Tightly roll up the bread and filling, starting at the bottom, using the plastic wrap to keep it together and tucking the filling in tightly as you go.
- Tighten the plastic wrap at the ends and pinch the ends together until you have made a very tight roll.
- Repeat with the remaining 9 slices of bread and fillings.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours up to overnight.
- Unwrap the logs, and slice each into twelve 3/4-inch slices.
