Bachelor scans second item from bakery (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

breadstick

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

'item from bakery' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'bachelor scans second' is the wordplay.
'bachelor' becomes 'b' (abbreviation e.g. BA=Bachelor of Arts).
'scans' becomes 'reads' ('read' can be a synonym of 'scan').
'second' becomes 'tick' (both can mean a very short amount of time).
'b'+'reads'+'tick'='BREADSTICK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for breadstick that I've seen before include "used to produce something to nibble" , "Grissino" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
