Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
(You can cut the 12-inch sub loaf into two 6-inch ones to make it easier to work with.) Slice Italian sub loaves in half, widthwise, to butterfly it but don't cut all the way through. Pull the halves apart like butterfly wings and brush the Italian dressing over both halves.
Spread the sliced pepperoncini peppers and marinated roasted peppers over the halves evenly.
Layer capicola, ham, salami, pepperoni, and Fontina cheese evenly over the two halves.
Sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top (amount depends on how spicy you want it). Place them carefully on a baking sheet and bake for 10-13 minutes.
Take them out of the oven. Close the two halves back up once it's done. Cut each in half if you wish and enjoy!
Notes
For the BEST results: get your meats freshly sliced from the deli section of your grocery store and get freshly baked sub rolls from the bakery section.
Make Ahead: You can simply combine the subs and then wrap them tight and refrigerate for about a day. When ready to bake, unwrap the subs, open them, and bake as instructed.
Storing: you can store baked or unbaked Italian subs in the refrigerator. Just make sure to wrap it airtight in your favorite food storage wrap. I would recommend that you eat them within a day or two at most.
To reheat the subs: it’s best to do so in the oven. Unwrap the sub first and open it back up to reheat faster. Place it on the parchment paper covered baking sheet and reheat it at 350°F just until heated through, 7-10 minutes.
