Nominal enunciation of the demand for bread (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

roll call

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

'nominal enunciation of' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'demand for bread' is the wordplay.
'demand' becomes 'call' (call is a kind of demand).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'bread' becomes 'roll' (roll is a kind of bread).
'call' after 'roll' is 'ROLL-CALL'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roll call that I've seen before include "Means of checking attendance" , "Check for presence" , "List of names read out" , "Reading out of a list of names to check attendance" , "Method of checking who's present" .)
