Question
What should the dough be like in order to be obligated in separating challah?
Answer
In order for dough to be obligated in separating challah, it must contain the amount of five quarters of flour. Many cakes, such as yeast cakes and sponge cakes, do not contain this amount of flour, as they are filled with additional ingredients, and therefore challah is not separated from them. However, it should be noted that sometimes several cakes are prepared, and although each one does not have the amount that obligates challah separation, when they are placed together in the refrigerator or transported together in a vehicle, they become obligated in challah due to being combined in one basket.
