Bread yet to be baked and given away (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

betrayed

'given away' is the definition.
('betray' can be a synonym of 'give away')

'bread yet to be baked' is the wordplay.
'to be baked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bread'+'yet'='breadyet'
'breadyet' anagrammed gives 'BETRAYED'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for betrayed that I've seen before include "Was disloyal, assisted enemy" , "Handed over or exposed a friend to an enemy" , "Denounced" , "Double-crossed, was disloyal" , "Unintentionally showed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
