Method

  1. Split the loaf in half lengthwise. Drizzle both cut surfaces with olive oil and scatter the vinegar and garlic on the bottom half. Sprinkle both cut sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Roughly chop the tomatoes and spread over the bottom half, then sprinkle over the capers and olives. Lay the anchovies on top, scatter with basil leaves and press everything down lightly.
  3. Cover the filling with the other half of the loaf and press down firmly.
  4. Wrap tightly in foil or greaseproof paper and place a weight on top for at least half an hour, longer if you have the time (4 hours maximum).
  5. Unwrap and cut into thick slices.

    The bottom half of the bread was lovely and very delicious as the olive oil and white wine vinegar soaked through. But the top half of the bread remained dry. I used a ciabatta, and next time will either try grilling the ciabatta and serving as a bruschetta or perhaps preparing both halves of the bread the same was as the bottom and then putting them together as the final touch.
