Italian vs French Bread
When talking about Italian and French bread, they are different in every aspect from the size, shape, and flavor. Both Italian and French bread come in sweet flavors that makes these two the most-sold breads in the market.
One of the main differences between Italian bread and French bread is in the shape. The French bread comes in a long shape with rounded ends. On the contrary, Italian bread comes in a round shape. It is also shorter and thicker than French bread. Though they have differences in their shape, they have the same hard crust outside and a soft inside.
When looking at French bread, brioche is the most famous one. Brioche is a sweet bread that is served during breakfast. This bread derives its sweetness from the eggs and unsalted butter used in the dough.
Italy is known for its savory breads. One of the most famous Italian bread is carasau bread. It is baked into a flat shape and seasoned with savory ingredients like cheese, pork, eggs, or tomato. Italian breads are most often baked in flat stone ovens. This type of baking gives the Italian breads a smoky flavor and a signature aroma. On the contrary, French breads are baked in electric convection ovens. This type of baking gives the bread a less chewy and a softer texture.
It is not only in the size, aroma and shape that the Italian and French bread are different, but they are also different in the way they are served. In France, the breads are served as a starter with butter or soup. On the other hand, Italian breads are served as a supplement to the pasta and other main courses.

Have you ever been to France or Italy??

for breakfast only?? Brioche is not a bread as bread is used to be eaten with something else, brioche is eaten alone.
5.In France, the breads are served as a starter with butter or soup. On the other hand, Italian breads are served as an accompaniment to the pasta and other main courses.
Breads are served as a starter????? ? Bread is used all along the meal, you have breas for meat, cheese, salad… Butter with bread is not something all french do, maybe normandy and Britany, parts of the country do not even eat butter but olive oil!!!
Bread with pasta??? if you have pasta you don’t eat bread!!! it is carbo hydrate, you mix 2 carbo hydrate.

I went to a nice restaurant and they served us oil with our “bread” instead of butter. My sister always bought a special olive oil to serve with homemade bread as well. It’s tasty and light with oil, in my opinion. I got here because I was searching for the difference in the two breads, but I was basically looking to see if there was different ingredients between the two. I guess not. I think the article is funny when it refers to electric ovens as a difference between the two breads. HAA!
