Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 rolls refrigerated French bread dough
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ pound deli ham slices
  • 1 pound deli turkey slices
  • 8 slices cheddar cheese I used mild cheddar
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 large beefsteak tomato sliced
  • 2 cups iceberg lettuce shredded
  • Nonstick cooking spray as needed

Optional Extras

  • 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • Yellow mustard to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a bundt pan and a small sheet pan with nonstick baking spray.

Bake the Bread and Bacon

  • Remove both rolls of dough and put them in the bottom of the prepared bundt pan.
  • Pinch the ends together to form one ring.
  • Place the bacon on a sheet pan in a single layer.
  • Place the bundt pan and the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and the bacon is crispy.
  • Remove both from the oven and let the bread cool completely.

Assemble the Party Sub

  • Slice the bread in half horizontally and spread mayonnaise over both halves.
  • Layer the cheese, ham, turkey, bacon, tomato slices, lettuce and red onion on the bottom portion of the bread.
  • Add a thin smear of yellow mustard to the top half of the bread if liked.
  • Place the top half on the bottom portion of the sandwich and press down gently.
  • Slice with a long, serrated knife and serve.

Notes

  • Use plenty of cooking spray: Dough can stick in the grooves and tear when removed.
  • Chill the lettuce first: Cold shredded lettuce has a crisper deli sandwich texture than lettuce that’s been sitting out during prep.
  • Pat tomato slices dry: Tomato juice can soak into the bread before serving and no one likes a soggy sub!
  • Don’t leave it out too long: Deli meat, mayo, bacon and cheese need refrigeration if the sandwich won’t be eaten within 2 hours.
  • Use a serrated knife: A long serrated knife is best to cut the bread in half horizontally.
