Baker's escape? (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

break out

'escape?' is the definition.
(breaking out is a kind of escaping)

'baker's' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'baker' is 'break' which is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'out' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Other definitions for break out that I've seen before include "Appear suddenly - escape" , "Escape from jail" , "Start suddenly; escape (from prison)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
