How many items is in a baker's dozen?


assistant
A baker's dozen typically contains 13 items vs. 12. The term baker's dozen has roots in medieval England, when bakers would create an extra item to avoid falling short, and facing punishment. The term has carried on to today, where if you ask for a baker's dozen, you'll get 13 of the item you are ordering!
