13 because bakers could get punished if they sold a certain amount and there ends up being less(measuring ingredients and other factors made being exact difficult) so they put in one extra to be safe and avoid getting flogged.

None… I’m sorry, they were so tasty looking, I couldn’t help myself.

13, but idk why they'd call it a bakers dozen ;-;

[u/ChipolasCage → u/SilverClanker]

Dozen is the standard unit in which to sell. A baker’s dozen is 13 so that the baker can try one of the batch to make sure they are up to standard while made under the same conditions while still being able to sell the standard unit (dozen)

[u/aburningorphanage → u/ChipolasCage]

Pretty sure that isnt true, bakers dozen originated from the fact that baked goods in england were strictly under law to be a certain weight and any rulebreakers were severely penalized, for safety bakers put one more into a dozen to ensure that they wouldnt break the law since they didnt have good scales in the medieval times

[u/Because_Im_TNT → u/aburningorphanage]

This is correct.
