'two notes for french loaf' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'two notes for french loaf' is the wordplay.
'two notes' means two replacements for 'note'.
'note' becomes 'te' (musical note as in do re mi fa so la ti).
'note' becomes 'e' (musical note).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'french loaf' becomes 't' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'e' after 't' is 'te'.
'te'+'te'='TETE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tete that I've seen is " Head (French)".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
