Establishing a Meal on Pastries within a Bread Meal
Question
I washed my hands for bread and recited the blessing 'Hamotzi' on the bread. Now I want to eat 'Pat Haba B'Kisnin' in an amount sufficient for establishing a meal within the bread meal. Do I need to recite the blessing 'Hamotzi Lechem Min Haaretz' again?
Answer
There is no need to recite the blessing 'Hamotzi Lechem Min Haaretz' again.

Mishnah Berurah, Siman 168, S"K 42: "If one eats a lot, in an amount sufficient for establishing a meal as explained in S"V, even if he eats them merely for sweetness, he is exempt with the blessing 'Hamotzi', because if he ate them outside the meal, he would need to recite 'Hamotzi', thus within the meal he is exempt with the blessing 'Hamotzi'."
