Nan having success as one bringing home bacon? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

breadwinner

'one bringing home bacon?' is the definition.
(a breadwinner makes money for a family)

'nan having success' is the wordplay.
'nan' becomes 'bread' (naan bread).
'having' says to put letters next to each other.
'success' becomes 'winner' (winner can mean something successful).
'bread'+'winner'='BREADWINNER'

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for breadwinner that I've seen before include "Family's main earner" , "Person whose earnings support the family" , "Main wage earner" , "Rolls acquired by this" , "traditional husband?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
