Steps

1

Hollow out the loaf of Altamura-style bread, setting aside the crumb.
2

Clean all the vegetables and cut them into medium-sized pieces.
3

Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl. Add the bread crumb cut into cubes, then season with olive oil, salt, pepper, vinegar, and oregano. Mix everything well. Add the washed basil leaves, tearing them by hand.
4

Transfer the panzanella into the hollowed-out bread loaf and garnish with basil leaves.
5

Since all the panzanella may not fit in the loaf, serve the remaining dressed bread in a large bowl.
