Bread cut in wood for elevenses? (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tea-break

'elevenses?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bread cut in wood' is the wordplay.
'cut' means to remove the last letter.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'wood' becomes 'teak' (type of timber).
'bread' with its last letter removed is 'brea'.
'brea' going within 'teak' is 'TEA-BREAK'.

'for' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
