Five Daughters 100-Layer Donut · Nashville
A laminated croissant-donut hybrid: 100 layers of laminated dough fried to a crisp shell, then filled with pastry cream and topped with house glazes.
Isaac and Stephanie Meek (parents of five daughters: Dylan, Lucy, Maggie, Evangeline, and Constance) launched Five Daughters Bakery in 12 South in January 2015, adapting the cronut format with a 3-day, 100-layer lamination process. The donut requires 72 hours of folding and resting before frying. Five Daughters' East Nashville and Franklin locations followed; the 12 South queue regularly stretches down the block on weekends.
