A bakers dozen was very common when buying donuts or beagles in the 1970s and 80s here in upstate NY, USA. I don't recollect encountering it in recent years. Most such shops are corporate instead of family owned now.

Well made.

I always thought it was so the baker could sample their batch

I knew about certain points of this, but not that they went together! Very interesting! :D

Hold up… in the medieval times average people bought bread in dozens? This doesn’t really make sense… the word in bread makes sense
