Question
They made dough that requires separating challah with a blessing, and part of it is baked while part is not yet. Should one wait with the separation until everything is baked, or can it be separated now when half is baked?
Answer
If everything was made in one dough in one bowl, then it is already obligated in challah, and it can be separated immediately. Ideally, everything should be placed next to each other.
