A requirement is being admitted -- something baker wants? (7)
I believe the answer is:
aniseed
'something baker wants?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'a requirement is being admitted' is the wordplay.
'requirement' becomes 'need' ('need' can be a synonym of 'requirement').
'being admitted' is an insertion indicator.
'need' enclosing 'is' is 'niseed'.
'a'+'niseed'='ANISEED'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aniseed that I've seen before include "Flavouring of e.g. absinthe" , "Liquorice flavouring -- ie Danes (anag)" , "Licorice-like flavour" , "Aromatic flavouring" , "Flavouring of sambuca" .)
