Oddly curved pie in circular dish (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crepe

'circular dish' is the definition.
(I know that crepe are usually circular)

'oddly curved pie' is the wordplay.
'oddly' indicates alternate letters (letters in odd-numbered positions).
'curved'+'pie'='curvedpie'
The alternate letters of 'curvedpie' are 'CREPE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for crepe that I've seen before include "White fat" , "Crinkled paper or fabric" , "Material - French pancake" , "Thin twenty four Ac" , "sole?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
