    		Is that a trick question? There is one dozen in a baker's dozen, plus one left over. A baker's dozen is 13.

    		A baker's dozen, also known as a long dozen, is 13, one more than a proper dozen. The expression found its genesis in 13th-century England.

    It is also known as Devil's dozen, because 13 is considered to be an unlucky number.
