A flavorful Italian flat bread made with oats and molasses turns this sandwich into something special. I tuck ham, cheese and veggies inside, but you can substitute your favorite sandwich fillings. -Marina Gelling, Rowlett, Texas

  • Split the focaccia in half horizontally; spread mayonnaise and mustard on cut sides. On bottom half, layer the lettuce, ham, cheese, onion, green pepper and tomatoes. Replace bread half. Chill until serving. Cut into wedges. Yield: 12 servings.

A delicious sandwich. The bread doesn't have to be kneaded, which is a time-saver, and the sweetness the molasses gives it tastes so good with all the things it's filled with. Everyone loved it!

A super good huge sandwich! Have made it several times and have had many requests for the recipe. I like to use dill or basil or oregano on top.

I took it to the teacher's lounge at school and it was gone in minutes with many requests for the recipe.
