Have to listen to work dough (5)
I believe the answer is:
knead
'work dough' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'have to listen to' is the wordplay.
'have' becomes 'need' (synonyms).
'to listen to' shows a homophone (sound like).
'need' sounds like 'KNEAD'.
(Other definitions for knead that I've seen before include "Work (dough/clay)" , "Somehow work in" , "Work flour into dough manually" , "Massage with hands" , "Pummel dough" .)
