Butterkäse Focaccia Antipasto Sandwiches

2 (14 1/2-ounce) packages Italian flatbread (focaccia)
Romaine lettuce leaves
12 (1-ounce) slices thinly sliced baked ham
8 ounces Butterkäse cheese, sliced
12 (6-ounce) slices thinly sliced salami (optional)

1 cup julienne-cut roasted red peppers, drained
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
8 ounces provolone cheese, sliced

1. Lightly brush the top of one of the Italian flatbreads with 1 tablespoon of the reserved artichoke marinade.
2. Place the bread on a serving dish, and layer with lettuce leaves, ham, cheese, salami (if desired), artichokes, peppers, onions, and tomatoes.
3. Sprinkle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the reserved marinade, and layer with the top with provolone cheese slices.
4. Brush the underside of the second Italian flatbread with the remaining marinade and place on top of the sandwich.
5. With a bread knife, cut into 10 pie-shaped wedges and place a sandwich pick in each to hold in place.
