Hound one obtaining bread in Kabul? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afghani

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

'bread in kabul?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'hound one' is the wordplay.
'hound' becomes 'Afghan' (Afghan hound is a breed of dog).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'afghan'+'i'='AFGHANI'

'obtaining' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for afghani that I've seen before include "'Person from Kabul, say (7)'" , "ready for Kabul?" , "Native of five across" , "From Kabul, for example" , "hundred puls" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
