I believe the answer is:

leavened

(Other definitions for leavened that I've seen before include "With substance added that produces fermentation in dough" , "transformed for the better?" , "made to rise" , "Of bread, containing substance that causes fermentation in dough" , "In a ferment" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
