Bread turned tap to sound of light shower (3-1-3)

I believe the answer is:

pit-a-pat

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

'sound of light shower' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'bread turned tap' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'bread' could be 'pita' (pita is a kind of bread) and 'pita' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'tap' is 'pat' which is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.
