Cut the baguette in half horizontally. Use a long, thin knife to cut the centers of each baguette piece to create two hollowed-out shells. Discard the bread pieces or save them for another use. Editor's Tip: While we love the idea of a stuffed sandwich the way Bread Zeppelin makes them, it's not easy cutting a hole in a baguette. Cutting it in half and reassembling later is a much easier way to fill the sandwich with the chopped salad. To remove the soft insides of the baguettes, I had the best results using tongs to remove the bread and a fork to scrape closer to the crust. Leave about 1/4-inch thick wall inside each of the hollowed-out baguette shells.

In a large bowl, toss together the romaine lettuce, tomato, turkey, bacon, pickles and banana peppers with the shredded cheese. Add the peppercorn ranch dressing, salt and pepper and toss the mixture again until everything is coated with the dressing. Editor's Tip: Use a sharp knife to dice up all of the filling ingredients. Chopping the ingredients into small, uniform pieces will make it easier to get more filling into the sandwich.

Fill each baguette shell with the chopped salad mixture and serve the sandwiches immediately. Editor's Tip: Use tongs to fill the baguette shells with the chopped salad mixture. Periodically use a fork or spoon to push the mixture down into the bottom of the shell. Be careful not to rip the bread; the baguette crust is pretty sturdy, so you should be able to really push the filling in.
