Crossword Genius

Excitedly procure ultimate in bread maker (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

producer

'maker' is the definition.
(producer is a kind of maker)

'excitedly procure ultimate in bread' is the wordplay.
'excitedly' is an anagram indicator.
'ultimate in' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'bread' is 'd'.
'procure'+'d'='procured'
'procured' anagrammed gives 'PRODUCER'.

(Other definitions for producer that I've seen before include "One creating" , "Creator; supervisor (of programme, play)" , "Person who finds the finance for a show (8)" , "One finds the finance for a show" , "Person who finds the finance for a film (8)." .)
