1

Choose the Perfect Bread Bowl

Find a round loaf of crusty bread, such as a sourdough or French bread. Slice off the top third of the loaf to create a lid. Hollow out the bottom two-thirds, making sure to leave a thick rim around the edges for structural integrity.

2

Prepare the Pho

Follow your favorite Pho recipe and prepare the soup as usual. Make sure the broth is piping hot and flavorful. Don't skimp on those aromatic herbs and spices!

3

Fill the Bread Bowl

Carefully ladle the hot Pho into the hollowed-out bread bowl. Fill it up to the brim, making sure to distribute the ingredients evenly. Go ahead, pile on the meat, veggies, and noodles!

4

Garnish with Finesse

Sprinkle some fresh herbs, like cilantro and Thai basil, on top of the Pho. Add a squeeze of lime for a burst of tanginess. Get creative with additional garnishes like bean sprouts, jalapenos, or even a drizzle of sriracha if you like it spicy!

5

Place the Lid and Serve

Gently place the bread bowl lid on top of your Pho masterpiece. Transfer the bread bowl onto a serving plate or a wooden board for an extra touch of rustic charm. With a knife, create a small opening in the lid for steam to escape.

Now comes the best part: enjoy your Pho in a Bread Bowl like a pro! Grab a spoon and dig into the fragrant broth, soft noodles, tender meat, and crusty bread. It's a flavor explosion in every bite!
