2. Cut the loaf of French bread lengthwise with a serrated knife. From each

half of the bread, remove some of the inside of the loaf, and cut into

cubes.

a little olive oil over the mixture, season to taste with the oregano,

paprika, salt, and pepper, and toss well to combine.

4. Fill the inside of each half of the bread with the vegetable mixture and

press the two halves back together to reform a loaf.

5. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill.

 

This sandwich can be made a day ahead. Cut the loaf into slices before

serving.
