Morphology

yeastless = yeast (transparent) = yeast + less

The adjective is directly formed by adding the productive suffix '-less' meaning 'without' to the noun 'yeast', producing the literal sense 'without yeast'.

Etymology

Yeastless comes from yeast, the tiny, living ingredient that makes bread bubble and rise, plus the ending -less, which means 'without'. So yeastless simply means 'without yeast', which is why yeastless bread stays flat and dense.
