Ross

I believe the answer is:

debar

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

'stop the making' is the definition.
'debar' can be an answer for 'stop' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'the making' bit.

'of bread' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates an anagram (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'bread' is an anagram of 'DEBAR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for debar that I've seen before include "Blackball" , "Block" , "Keep out" , "Black" , "Exclude from a place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
