Yes, a croissant is a type of bread. Croissants are a popular French pastry made from a yeast-leavened dough. The dough is layered with butter and then rolled and folded multiple times to create the characteristic flaky and buttery texture. Croissants are typically crescent-shaped and have a rich, slightly sweet flavor.
While croissants may have more butter and a different preparation method than traditional bread, they are still considered a type of bread because they are made from basic bread ingredients such as flour, water, yeast, and sometimes milk and sugar. The unique process of layering the dough with butter is what sets croissants apart and gives them their distinct flaky texture.
