Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Slice the panettone loaf horizontally into six even layers using a serrated bread knife for clean cuts.

  2. 2

    Drizzle the cut surfaces lightly with extra-virgin olive oil to add moisture and flavor.

  3. 3

    On the bottom layer, arrange prosciutto and arugula evenly. Top with the next layer of bread.

  4. 4

    Add provolone and roasted red peppers to the second layer. Drizzle a teaspoon of balsamic glaze and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Continue stacking, alternating mortadella, mozzarella, and artichoke hearts on remaining layers, seasoning each with olive oil and pepper as you go.

  6. 6

    Reassemble the loaf by stacking all filled layers and pressing gently so the fillings settle evenly; wrap tightly in plastic wrap.

  7. 7

    Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and make slicing easier.

  8. 8

    Unwrap, trim the edges if needed, and cut the loaf into wedges using a sharp bread knife. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature.
