  2. 1 loaf (12 to 15 inch) crusty sourdough baguette or French bread
  3. 1/3 cup mayonnaise

Directions:

Cut bread in half lengthwise. Remove some of the bread down the center of each half to make a slight canal.

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, pesto and lemon juice; spread mixture on cut surfaces of both halves.

On top half of bread, layer cheese (pressing pieces into the pesto spread), roasted peppers and roast beef; season with pepper.

On bottom half, add lettuces (pressing into the pesto spread).

Bring layers together and secure with strong toothpicks. Cut into 6 wedges. Serve immediately.
