directions

  • Basil Dressing: In a food processor with the metal blade, process all the ingredients until well blended.
  • To make sandwich: Cut the bread in half horizontally; hollow out the top and bottom, leaving a 1/2 inch shell. (It may be easier if you cut the bread crosswise into 2 loaves.) Spread the dressing over the inside of the top and bottom. Layer the cheese, spinach, tuna, tomatoes, radishes, and olives in the bottom. Sprinkle with pepper. Cover with bread top.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap or foil and place on a baking sheet. Top with another baking sheet and weigh down heavily with cans or weights for 1 hour. Remove the weights and serve immediately or refrigerate until serving. Before serving, if desired, crisp up the bread by baking the loaf at 450 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • To serve, cut the loaf crosswise into 2-inch slices.
