unbaked

Not yet cooked

Unbaked describes food, typically dough or batter, that has not yet been cooked in an oven.

It applies to items like unbaked pie crust or unbaked cookie dough, which some people eat raw despite food safety warnings.

The term can extend figuratively to ideas or plans that are half-formed or not fully developed, though this sense is less common than the literal culinary one.
