Dark bread cooked for pirate (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blackbeard

'for pirate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dark bread cooked' is the wordplay.
'dark' becomes 'black' (similar in meaning).
'cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'bread' is an anagram of 'beard'.
'black'+'beard'='BLACKBEARD'

(Another definition for blackbeard that I've seen is " Pirate".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
