Odd print covers a type of bread (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pita

'type of bread' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'odd print covers a' is the wordplay.
'odd' indicates alternate letters.
'covers' says to put letters next to each other.
The alternating letters of 'print' are 'pit'.
'pit'+'a'='PITA'

(Other definitions for pita that I've seen before include "bread from the Middle East" , "Basic Greek food" , "Type of bread" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
