1 loaf sourdough bread (1 pound)
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 medium green pepper, cut into strips
1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into strips
1 celery rib, sliced
3 green onions, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil

Cut bread in half horizontally. Hollow out top and bottom halves, leaving 1/2-in. shells. (Discard removed bread or save for another use.)
In a large skillet, saute the mushrooms, peppers, celery and onions in oil until tender. Remove from the heat; set aside.
Combine the mayonnaise, Italian seasoning and pepper; spread over bread. On the bread bottom, layer half of the ham, vegetable mixture and cheeses. Repeat layers, gently pressing down if needed. Replace bread top.
Wrap tightly in heavy-duty foil. Bake at 400 ° or grill, covered, over medium heat for 30-35 minutes or until heated through. Cut into wedges with a serrated knife.
