For food, possibly bake a bit of bread (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kebab

'for food' is the definition.
(kebab is a kind of food)

'possibly bake a bit of bread' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a bit of' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'bread' is 'b'.
'bake' with letters rearranged gives 'keba'.
'keba'+'b'='KEBAB'

(Other definitions for kebab that I've seen before include "Pieces of meat, vegetables etc cooked on skewer" , "Cubes of meat on a skewer" , "Skewered meat dish" , "Meat and/or vegetables cooked on skewer" , "Meat preparation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
