Fresh bread is cooked (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

braised

'cooked' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'fresh bread is' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates an anagram (a fresh re-ordering of the letters).
'bread'+'is'='breadis'
'breadis' with letters rearranged gives 'BRAISED'.

(Other definitions for braised that I've seen before include "Fried then slowly stewed" , "Stewed in closed pot" .)
