Wrap the whole loaf tightly in plastic wrap. Place sandwich on a baking sheet in the refrigerator. Place a 13x9x2-inch baking pan on top of sandwich. Add 5 to 6 unopened cans of food to the pan to press down the sandwich. Chill for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours before serving. Use a sharp serrated knife to cut sandwich crosswise into six portions.
