Both croissants and crostini feature bread, but that is where their similarities stop. Here are all the ways to differentiate between croissants and crostini. Which one do you like more is up to you.
Croissants are flaky, buttery and layered dough breads, while crostini are small, toasted bread slices topped with savory or sweet toppings.
Originating in Italy, crostini is a type of snack or starter that is often used as antipasti. Croissants were born in France as one of their most popular breads, ever.
Croissant dough is made with flour, water, yeast, sugar and layered with loads of butter. Crostini is made from slices of baguette, sourdough and Italian breads.
Croissants are light, airy, flaky and quite buttery in texture with many thin layers. Crostini have a crunchy, grilled bread base with softer toppings like veggies, meat and cheese.
Often filled with chocoate, almond, ham or cheese, croissants are perfect for breakfast and brunch. Crostini are served as antipasti, appetizers or hors d'oeuvres before the main meal starts.
