Question
How much dough should be separated for challah?
Answer
Shalom Rav
There is no specific amount required for separating challah, and any small amount suffices. However, the custom among Ashkenazim is that if one separates challah with a blessing, they take a piece the size of a kezayit, which is approximately the volume of a matchbox.
