This new delicacy could be the next big thing on global menus
It’s a combination of two of the world’s favourite pastries into a flaky baked dish with a buttery twist.
The croissant pizza is becoming a global sensation with its light, layered texture and rich flavours.
Inspired by the rise of hybrid pastries like the cronut and crookie, this new take on pizza uses a croissant-style crust that is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside instead of the traditional pizza dough.
With toppings of their choice, food lovers can customise the croissant pizza from classic cheese to spicy pepperoni, all layered on the flaky, golden base.
Although different, it still gives the comforting and satisfying taste of pizza with a touch of croissant.
The croissant pizza shows how innovative the food world is becoming, with chefs continuously trying new recipes and pairing food and cultures.
Launched this month in Qatar by American pizza chain Papa John's, the croissant pizza is gradually winning hearts with plans for a limited global rollout.
Its creators hope that it could soon appear on global menus far beyond the borders of Qatar and the Middle East.
