Thirteen. Bakers, concerned over possible penalties for short weight in a product, provided an extra for good measure

Baker's dozen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

A bakers dozen consists of 13 because a cook/baker always has to taste their food so they make one extra for tasting.

a bakers dozen is 13..........back in the old days of 'olde englande' a baker could be punished (probably by death) for giving someone less than they asked for - so they asked for a dozen rolls they would be given an extra one - just in case!!

It's 13. Back in the day, if you bought a dozen donuts, you would get one free.
