Croissants and crescent rolls are often confused due to their shape, but they have distinct differences. Croissants are made from laminated puff pastry, while crescent rolls are made from unlaminated bread dough. This results in croissants being flaky and light, whereas crescent rolls have a bread-like texture. The preparation process differs as well; croissants are proofed in their shape and are complex to make, while crescent roll dough is typically pre-made and easier to prepare, commonly served with dinner rather than as a pastry.
"While croissants are made from puff pastry that is laminated, crescent rolls are made from a type of bread dough, with no lamination involved."
"Croissants are proofed in their crescent shapes, whereas crescent rolls are proofed at the start, with the yeast being activated before adding other ingredients."
