הלכות חלהChallah· siman 329

Se’if 1א׳

אֵין חִיּוּב חַלָּה אֶלָּא בְּלֶחֶם. לְפִיכָךְ הַסֻפְגָּנִין, דְּהַיְנוּ רַכִּים הָעֲשׂוּיִים כִּסְפוֹג, וְהַדֻּבְשָׁנִין וְהָאִסְקָרֵיטִים, וְהֵם מְטֻגָּנִים בִּדְבַשׁ, פְּטוּרִים מִן הַחַלָּה.

There is no obligation of challah (the portion of dough given to a priest) except in bread. Therefore sponge-cakes — that is, soft cakes made like a sponge — and honey-cakes and iskritin, which are fried in honey, are exempt from challah.

Se’if 2ב׳

עִסָה שֶׁבְּלִילָתָהּ רַכָּה וַאֲפָאָהּ בְּתַנּוּר אוֹ בְּמַחֲבַת, בֵּין שֶׁהִרְתִּיחַ וְאַחַר כָּךְ הִדְבִּיק, בֵּין שֶׁהִדְבִּיק וְאַחַר כָּךְ הִרְתִּיחַ, חַיֶּבֶת בְּחַלָּה וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא עַל יְדֵי מַשְׁקֶה.

Dough whose batter is loose, and he baked it in an oven or in a pan — whether he heated the pan and afterwards stuck the dough on, or stuck it on and afterwards heated it — is liable to challah, provided that it is not by means of a liquid.

Se’if 3ג׳

עִסָה שֶׁבְּלִילָתָהּ (רַכָּה) עָבָה, וְגִלְגְּלָהּ עַל דַּעַת לְבַשְּׁלָהּ אוֹ לְטַגְּנָהּ אוֹ לַעֲשׂוֹתָהּ סֻפְגָּנִין אוֹ לְיַבְּשָׁהּ בַּחַמָּה, וְעָשָׂה כֵּן, פְּטוּרָה. גִּלְגְּלָהּ לַעֲשׂוֹת מִמֶּנָּהּ לֶחֶם, וְנִמְלַךְ לְבַשְּׁלָהּ אוֹ לְטַגְּנָהּ אוֹ לַעֲשׂוֹתָהּ סֻפְגָּנִין אוֹ לְיַבְּשָׁהּ בַּחַמָּה, חַיֶּבֶת, שֶׁכְּבָר נִתְחַיְּבָה מִשְּׁעַת גִּלְגּוּל. גִּלְגְּלָהּ עַל דַּעַת סֻפְגָּנִין וְכַיּוֹצֵא בָּהֶן, וְנִמְלַךְ לַעֲשׂוֹתָהּ לֶחֶם, חַיֶּבֶת.

Dough whose batter is thick, and he rolled it with the intention of cooking it, or frying it, or making it into sponge-cakes, or drying it in the sun, and he did so — it is exempt. If he rolled it to make bread of it, and changed his mind to cook it, or fry it, or make it into sponge-cakes, or dry it in the sun — it is liable, for it already became liable from the time of rolling. If he rolled it with the intention of sponge-cakes and the like, and changed his mind to make it bread — it is liable.
