The recipe

Ingredients

330 gram jar of char-grilled peppers
135 grams semi-dried tomatoes
1 small red onion
350 gram ball of fresh mozzarella
1 round cob loaf
2 tablespoons garlic infused olive oil
60 gram bag of baby spinach
85 grams prosciutto
Basil leaves

Directions

Step 1
You need to prepare this loaf the day before your picnic.
Step 2
Drain the char-grilled peppers and the semi-dried tomatoes well and place in bowls.
Step 3
Thinly slice your red onion.
Step 4
Cut the mozzarella into slices.
Step 5
Cut the top off the loaf and sit it to one side.
Step 6
Carefully remove the inside of the loaf, leaving a ring around the edges.
Step 7
Save the filling to make breadcrumbs or stuffing.
Step 8
Brush the inside of the loaf with garlic infused olive oil and then start building your layers.
Step 9
Start with the spinach, the peppers, onion, mozzarella, prosciutto, semi-dried tomatoes and then repeat.
Step 10
Tuck basil leaves here and there as you fill.
Step 11
Make sure that you push the fillings right into the sides of the cavity so that it is really full.
Step 12
Add as many layers as you can, pressing down firmly with each layer.
Step 13
Return the top to the loaf and wrap it tightly with layers of cling wrap.
Step 14
Place a heavy weight (I used a cast iron pot) on top and let it sit in the fridge overnight.
Step 15
When you are ready to slice it, use a serrated bread knife and cut steadily through to reveal the layered filling.
