Is bread chopped and cooked? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

braised

'cooked?' is the definition.
('braised' can be similar in meaning to 'cooked')

'is bread chopped' is the wordplay.
'chopped' indicates anagramming the letters (letters chopped or smashed up).
'is'+'bread'='isbread'
'isbread' with letters rearranged gives 'BRAISED'.

'and' acts as a link.

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