Money to remain for a bit of dough (10)

I believe the answer is:

breadstick

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

'a bit of dough' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'money to remain' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'bread' (bread is slang for money).
'to remain' becomes 'stick' (both can mean to stay).
'bread'+'stick'='BREADSTICK'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for breadstick that I've seen before include "Grissino" , "used to produce something to nibble" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
