Without cuts in bread, dug in excitedly (10)
I believe the answer is:
unabridged
'without cuts' is the definition.
'bread dug in excitedly' is the wordplay.
'excitedly' indicates an anagram.
'bread'+'dug'+'in'='breaddugin'
'breaddugin' with letters rearranged gives 'UNABRIDGED'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for unabridged that I've seen before include "published in full" , "Complete" , "Not shortened" .)
