12 Hours for a BLT? Babish Bakes a Rustic Country Loaf for Spanglish's Famous Sandwich

Babish recreates the Thomas Keller-inspired 'World's Greatest Sandwich' from the movie Spanglish — a loaded BLT with egg, cheese, and bacon fat-fried egg. The real star is the from-scratch rustic country loaf (pan de campagne) made with a slow-fermented sponge, taking over 12 hours from start to finish. Perfect for anyone wanting to level up their bread baking alongside a classic sandwich build.
