Question
From what amount of flour is challah separated with a blessing?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
The amount for separation with a blessing is dough containing 2.250 kg of flour, and there are those who bless on 1.700 kg of flour, as many Sephardim do. However, one who does not have a custom in this should not bless until the larger amount is present in the flour.
