kebab

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'manage to bake a little bread and you can eat' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'bake' is 'keba' which is located in the answer.
A single letter 'b' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kebab that I've seen before include "Cubes of meat on a skewer" , "Meat grilled on skewer" , "what one may spit" , "spiked food" , "Post-pub snack?" .)
