including Italian bread or submarine rolls, deli meats (such as salami, pepperoni, ham, and capicola), provolone cheese slices, lettuce leaves, tomato slices, red onion slices, banana pepper rings, black olives, olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Prepare Bread: Cut the Italian bread or submarine rolls in half lengthwise, but not all the way through. This creates a pocket to hold the sandwich fillings without them falling out.
Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make a simple Italian dressing. Adjust the quantities to taste.
Layer Ingredients: Layer the deli meats and provolone cheese slices evenly on the bottom half of the bread. Add lettuce leaves, tomato slices, red onion slices, banana pepper rings, and black olives on top of the meats and cheese.
Drizzle with Dressing: Drizzle the prepared Italian dressing over the sandwich fillings. The dressing adds flavor and moisture to the sandwich.
Close Sandwich: Gently press the top half of the bread onto the filled bottom half to close the sandwich.
Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut the Italian sub sandwich into individual portions. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil and refrigerate for later. Italian subs are best served cold, allowing the flavors to meld together.
