Morphology

unraised = raised (transparent) = un + raise + ed

Clear productive negation: 'un-' applied to 'raised' yields 'not raised', matching the baking sense.

Etymology

The word unraised is made of un- 'not' and raised from raise, which means 'to make rise'. So unraised bread is 'not' allowed to rise and stays flat and dense.
