Ruined, as maybe made without yeast (8)
I believe the answer is:
unraised
'without yeast' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'ruined as maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'ruined'+'as'='ruinedas'
'ruinedas' anagrammed gives 'UNRAISED'.
'made' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for unraised that I've seen is " Like a particular bread".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
