I believe the answer is:

pitta

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

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

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for pitta that I've seen before include "Type of flatbread" , "Flat hollow unleavened bread" , "Flat bread that's split to take a filling" , "Greek unleavened bread" , "(E.g. Greek) bread" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
