Instructions
  1. Start by making olive salad. That’s the key to the muffaletta.
  2. Combine olive oil, vinegar, bay leaves, garlic, fresh thyme and fennel seeds in a small pot over low heat. When mixture has gently simmered, take off the heat and set aside.
  3. Place olives, capers, artichoke hearts and tomatoes in a large bowl. Add mixture and stir well. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  4. Meanwhile, mix the mustard ingredients together in a small bowl.
  5. Place loaf, sliced horizontally, on a cutting board. Spoon olive salad over loaf, to taste. Reserve any extra salad and enjoy another time - on crackers, tossed in a green salad, tossed into a tuna salad…Layer meat and cheese on one side and drizzle with some honey mustard. Squish sandwich together. Wrap with plastic wrap and leave for an hour for extra flavour, or slice and eat immediately.
