The only muffuletta I have ever eaten was at the Central Grocery. I wanted to make a unique sandwich (at least in Maryland) for a football party and my search for a muffuletta recipe led me here. Honestly, I would have to put them side-by-side to pick my favorite.Your directions are so easy to follow. I am no baker, but the homemade bread was so easy and delicious that I am already planning all sorts of things to stuff in it! The only difference I can recognize is that the Central Grocer’s olive salad seemed to have more of a vinegar tang to it, but it has been so long that I may not be remembering it correctly. Thanks so much for the great recipes.

My goodness this sandwich looks amazing, Im coming to NOLA in a few weeks and I definitely going to get one of these. Do you have any other suggestions for legendary New Orleans noms?

I made this and the taste was awesome! But the big problem I am having is with the bread. Mine rises nicely but when I put it on the cookie sheet, I end up with one big flat mess. I can’t figure out why this is happening? Maybe not enough flour? Please help if you can! Thanks, Zema

Some years ago we sat on a stool in Central Grocery and had a Muffeletta and a Jack’s beer…it was about 11:30 AM. The memory is etched in my mind forever. Nothing compared to this experience of heightened senses…it was like a dream. I’ve never tried to make one, only because I knew I’d be disappointed, being the picky person that I am. Thanks for sharing these recipes…when my life slows down to cooking again…it’s on the list!

I’ve made this three or four times since I was in NOLA in November and each time I like it more and more. The key for me is the olive salad. I could eat that on ANYTHING!!! I’ve used on on this sandwich, but also to dress up a plain turkey or roast beef sandwich…hell! I’ve eaten the olive salad over rice or just as is with a spoon!!!

I was born and raised on New Orleans. The secret to a Muffuletta is the olive dressing. Do not chop the ingredients too fine or you will lose the flavor, especially the olives. The Central Grocery makes the best by far. If you are away from New Orleans, go to Jason’s Deli and have their ham Muffuletta. It is pretty good. The turkey is, forget it.
Emeril Lagasse is from Fall River, MA and is no more Cajun than and is giving Cajun food a bad name. His “kicking it up a notch” has people thinking Cajun food is HOT. Ain’t so. Some Indian curries, Mexican and Thai are hot, Cajun ain’t. Cajun food should be delicately seasoned with a few drops of Tabasco, not Bam, Bam, Bam.
