Be exclusive in bread production (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

debar

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

'be exclusive' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'bread production' is the wordplay.
'production' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bread' anagrammed gives 'DEBAR'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for debar that I've seen before include "Block" , "Exclude, prohibit" , "Blackball" , "Formally prevent" , "Stop" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
