Spread out breads after cover is removed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unroll

'spread out' is the definition.

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for unroll that I've seen before include "Reverse winding or twisting" , "Dismantle the joint, perhaps" , "Gradually reveal" , "Unfurl" , "Open out (eg, scroll)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
