Relative instructed to cover a baked food (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nan bread

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

'food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'relative instructed to cover a baked' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'relative' could be 'nan' (informal term for a grandmother) and 'nan' is found in the answer.
'cover' could be 'bread' (breading is a kind of covering) and 'bread' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nan bread that I've seen before include "food" , "One accompanying Indian" , "Indian menu item" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
