A baker's dozen, also known as long dozen, is 13, one more than a proper dozen. The expression found its genesis in 13th century England.

In the old days, they didn't use yeast so the bread the bakers baked didn't rise. So when they sell bread to customers, they gave 13 pieces instead of 12 because the 12 pieces weren't enough. Did that answer your question?

12 was bad luck so they gave you 13
