Want we hear to work as a baker (5)
I believe the answer is:
knead
'work as a baker' is the definition.
(as in kneading dough)
'want we hear' is the wordplay.
'want' becomes 'need' (needing is a kind of wanting).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'need' sounds like 'KNEAD'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for knead that I've seen before include "Manipulate" , "Work (dough) into mass" , "Work (dough/clay)" , "Work together" , "Massage - naked (anag)" .)
