Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri says, even keramit* renders one liable in challah. Rabbi Yishmael son of Rabbi Yosei says in the name of his father, what is chalut (see Hal. 1:6)? Flour poured into hot [water]. And ma'aiseh? Hot [water] into flour. And the Sages say, either this one or that one, [if] it is made with a stew-pot or a boiling pot, it is exempt. In the oven, it is liable.

[With respect to] provisions belonging to a Jew, or [a store belonging to a Jew with] Gentile workers who work inside of it, it is liable in challah. Provisions belonging to a Gentile, or [a store belonging to a Gentile with] Jewish workers who work inside of it, it is exempt from challah. One who makes starter dough for the masses is liable in challah. One who makes [starter] dough* [intended] for eating as risen dough, it is liable in challah.

Parched flour that was rounded and made into dough is liable in challah. Dough that was taxed is liable in challah because [the owner] is liable for that which he is responsible, until the moment that he hands it over [to the taxing authorities]. Second tithe in Jerusalem is liable in challah. Doubtful medumma* is liable in challah, the words of Rabbi Meir. And Rabbi Yosei exempts it and the Sages say, medumma is exempt from challah, but doubtful medumma is eaten [by the Kohanim] on account of dema (i.e., the potential terumah within the mixture), and is liable in challah.

Said Rabbi Ilai, I asked Rabbi Yehoshua, "The loaves of the thanksgiving offering and the wafers of a nazir, what is their [status] in challah?" He said to me, "They are exempt." And when I came and asked Rabbi Eliezer, he said to me, "They exempt themselves, [but] to sell in the market, they are liable" (see Hal. 1:6). When I recounted these words before Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah, he said to me, "By the covenant! These words were spoken from Mount Horeb!"

Rabbi Yehuda says, dough for dogs, [the status can be determined] from the manner it was prepared. If it was made into cakes, it is liable. If it was made into strips, it is exempt.

A Kohen who had flour left over when he was making his dough, and so too a woman who had flour left over from her dough, the flour and the leaven join together to [add up to] five fourths [of a kav] to forbid the dough. Said Rabbi Yehuda, for what reason did they say, the homeowner [takes out] one twenty-fourth (Hal. 2:7)? Because he is generous (lit., "he has kind eyes") with his dough. [But as to] a baker, [who need only take out] one forty-eighth, it is because he is stingy (lit., "he has narrow eyes") with his dough. And the Sages say, No. It is not for that reason; rather, the homeowner's dough is little, and there is not enough of it for a [meaningful] gift to the Kohen. [But as to] a baker, his dough is abundant, and there is enough of it for a gift to the Kohen (i.e., even at a smaller fraction).

One who buys from a baker or from a woman who makes [dough] to sell in the marketplace needs to separate challah as demai. From a homeowner or from the lodgers at his place, he does not need to separate challah as demai. [Rather,] he removes from it one forty-eighth. Rabbi Shimon says, even if only one sixtieth came up in his hand, he has fulfilled [his obligation].

Whoever cannot prepare his dough in purity, he may prepare it in kavim (which would not render him liable in challah), but he should not prepare it [in larger quantities] in impurity. Rabbi Akiva says, he should prepare it in impurity, and should not prepare it in kavim, for just as he may designate [challah] over the pure, so too he may designate over the impure. On this one he designates it as challah by name, and on that one he designates it as challah by name. But kavim, they have no portion in the name [of challah]. They said before Rabbi Akiva, one does not say to a person, "stand up and sin in order to gain merit, [or] stand up and bring ruin so that you can rectify it".

Rabbi Eliezer says, challah may be removed from the pure on behalf of the impure (Hal. 2:8). They said before Rabbi Yishmael, "Is there not so-and-so in the south, and did he not teach this teaching?" He said to them, "By the [priestly] garments that my father wore, and the gold plate (tzitz) that he placed between his eyes, if I will not educate any teacher who teaches such a thing!" They said to him that it was in the name of Rabbi Eliezer. He said to them, "In that case, he must have something to rely in."

A woman who declares her dough ownerless (שהפקירה (see Lieberman)), or who sold it, or who gave it away as a present is exempt, until she rolls it out in the case of wheat [flour], or until it is mixed into a cohesive mass in the case of barley [flour]. She is not liable in challah until there is a sufficient quantity of grain. [If] she rolled it out in the case of wheat, or she mixed it into a cohesive mass in the case of barley, even though there is only an olive's bulk in each one, she is liable in challah (i.e., since the total amount exceeded the minimum).

[If] a doubt as to impurity arose in dough before she rolled it, she should prepare it in purity (alt., "impurity" (see Lieberman)). Once she rolled it, she may prepare it in impurity (alt., "purity" (ibid.)), and its challah [has the status of] suspended [impurity]. About which doubt were they speaking? About a matter of doubt as to the challah. And so too produce as to which arose a doubt as to impurity. [If the doubt arose] before its work was completed, [the remaining work] may be performed in purity (alt., "impurity"). Once its work is completed, it must be performed in impurity (alt., "purity"), and its terumah [has the status of] suspended [impurity]. About which doubt were they speaking? About a matter of doubt as to the terumah.

A convert who converted and he had dough that was [previously] prepared: [If he converted] before a crust formed on the surface [of the bread], he is liable, [but] once a crust formed on the surface, he is exempt, the words of Rabbi Akiva. Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri says, before it was rolled out in the case of wheat, or it was mixed it into a cohesive mass in the case of barley, it is liable. Once it has been rolled out in the case of wheat, or it has been mixed into a cohesive mass in the case of barley, it is exempt. Others say in the name of Rabbi Yehuda ben Beteira, once it was made into separate cuttings.
