Coins star put out for bread roll (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

croissant

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

'bread roll' is the definition.
'croissant' can be an answer for 'bread' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'roll' bit.

'coins star put out' is the wordplay.
'put out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'coins'+'star'='coinsstar'
'coinsstar' anagrammed gives 'CROISSANT'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for croissant that I've seen before include "French breakfast food" , "Breakfast pastry" , "Tasty crescent-shaped French bread roll" , "Breakfast roll" , "Breakfast item" .)
