Baker’s Dozen

Another example was in Britain in the midth century with the establishment of the Assize of Bread and Ale statute, which was in effect all the way up to the 19th century before being repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act of The Assize of Bread and Ale statute set the price of ale and what weight a farthing loaf of bread should be.

So basically, in terms of bread, setting the relationship between the price of wheat and what the subsequent price of a loaf of bread from a certain quantity of wheat should be. Even though this statute was enacted at the request of bakers, it still posed a problem for them. This practice eventually made its way into the Worshipful Company of Bakers London guild code. This guild was actually started in the 12th century and had a large part in formulating the rules on the Assize of Bread and Ale statute.

So in this case, vendors were being given a sort of wholesale price, but without breaking the laws outlined in the Assize of Bread and Ale which had no exceptions for allowing a cheaper price to vendors.

I can think of another possible reason, though I dont know how plausible it is. Firstly, you dont know if you will occasionally burn an item, or if it just doesnt come out well enough. You may want to make extras to compensate. When people ask for a dozen, you dont want to have only eleven available to sell.

You may also want to make extras for yourself, or for your family. After all, you arent going to buy a full dozen off yourself.

Lastly, you may want to entice a buyer to your bakery with a taste test. Another theory is that it represents Jesus and the 12 diciples. Black Focus by Yussef Kamaal.
