Bread is mine — cheers! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pitta

'bread' is the definition.
(pitta is a type of bread)

'mine cheers' is the wordplay.
'mine' becomes 'pit' (as in a mining pit).
'cheers' becomes 'ta' (both can mean thank you).
'pit'+'ta'='PITTA'

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pitta that I've seen before include "Bread pocket" , "I might have a kebab in" , "Greek unleavened bread" , "Partially-leavened bread of the Near East" , "Middle Eastern bread" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
