Season the slices with salt and pepper and set a pan on a medium to high heat.

Let the aubergine and courgette slices cool down on a plate.
Thinly slice the red pepper and mozzarella.
With a bread knife remove the top 3-4cm of the loaf off, this will create the ‘lid’ of your sandwich.
Remove the bread dough from the loaf so you can add your filling.
Spread the pesto around the inside of the loaf.

Season each mozzarella layer with salt and pepper.
Place the bread lid back on top of the loaf.
