Stuffed Cheesy Sourdough Loaf

8 oz.) round sourdough bread loaf (or substitute another type of bread if you don’t like sourdough)

olive oil

dried oregano

pepper

crushed red pepper flakes

minced garlic

to 1/2 lb. (or about 5 to 8 ounces) thinly sliced roasted chicken, turkey, ham, or salami

to 12 ounces sliced mozzarella or provolone cheese, or 5 to 6 ounces of each (about 14 slices total)

to 1 cup roasted red peppers from a jar, well-drained (I drained mine on a paper towel; if you don’t drain them, they’ll make the bread soggy)

Optional: 1/3 to 1/2 cup sliced olives or any of the following–chopped marinated artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, sliced mushrooms
