Although the James Skinner Baking Co., Omaha, NE, maintains a highly diversified bakery business, its core ethos stems from the elegant, deceptively simple notion of 100 layers. Every batch of dough that forms the basis of its core Danish products undergoes a process whereby it’s progressively folded upon itself and sheeted until it has achieved the mathematical certainty of at least 100 layers. It then rests for a full day to proof at a controlled 34° F, slowly building signature flavor all the while. Only then is it ready to form into the dozens of sweet baked goods bearing the J. Skinner name and offered through in-store bakeries from coast to coast.
