Bread yet to be cooked 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 cooked' is the wordplay.
'to be cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'bread'+'yet'='breadyet'
'breadyet' with letters rearranged gives 'BETRAYED'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for betrayed that I've seen before include "given away" , "Gave away" , "What Jesus was by Judas Iscariot" , "Sold to the enemy" , "sold down the river" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
