Bakery product — or part, so it’s said (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roll

'bakery product' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'part so it's said' is the wordplay.
'part' becomes 'role' ('role' can be a synonym of 'part').
'so it's said' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'role' sounds like 'ROLL'.

'or' is the link.

(Other definitions for roll that I've seen before include "start recording film" , "Move like a wheel" , "See 19" , "Furl" , "Official list of members" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
