Torte from Potteries or from the bakery? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pies

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

'from the bakery?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'torte from potteries' is the wordplay.
'from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'potteries' with 'torte' taken away is 'PIES'.

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pies that I've seen before include "food" , "Tarts" , "Pastry snacks" , "See 1 Across" , "Dishes baked in pastry-lining" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
