12 slices provolone cheese
12 tsp Dijon mustard
23 tbsp mayonnaise (vegan/low-fat optional)
12 lettuce leaves (iceberg or romaine, optional)

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place buns on parchment-lined baking sheet
Brush bun tops with water and sprinkle coarse salt

Layer salami and turkey ham on bottom halves
Place provolone slices on meats, followed by lettuce and tomato if using
Cover with top bun halves, pressing gently
Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden, rotating midway for even browning
