Morphology

unrisen = risen (transparent) = un + rise + en

Dough 'rising' is a common use of 'rise'; negating the past-participle is a straightforward, literal formation.

Etymology

Unrisen is made of un- 'not' and rise 'to move up', the same idea you see when bread 'rises'. So unrisen describes dough or batter that is 'not risen' and has not grown as expected.
