All biscuits talked about so far have been "made from scratch" using mostly flour, baking powder, soda, shortening, a pinch of salt and milk or water. This mix has to be rolled flat, cut or formed and allowed to rise in a warm place, leaving a big mess in the kitchen.

What separates the authentic muffaletta from the copy is the recipe for the sandwich spread that we afficionados refer to as �olive salad.� It�s one of those things you either make right or it�s wrong.
