Dozen is the singular form; a collective word meaning twelve, so any subsequent verbs are conjugated in the plural e.g. a dozen eggs were used in the recipe.

Even when referring to more than one dozen, its form remains the same, e.g. he ordered two dozen loaves from the bakery.

However, the term dozens is used when referring to an unspecific, but reasonably large number, e.g. dozens of people were injured in the train crash.
