Halakhah for Challah 3:2

נִדְמְעָה עִסָּתָהּ עַד שֶׁלֹּא גִלְגְּלָה, פְּטוּרָה, שֶׁהַמְּדֻמָּע פָּטוּר. וּמִשֶּׁגִּלְגְּלָה, חַיֶּבֶת. נוֹלַד לָהּ סְפֵק טֻמְאָה עַד שֶׁלֹּא גִלְגְּלָה, תֵּעָשֶׂה בְטֻמְאָה, וּמִשֶּׁגִּלְגְּלָה, תֵּעָשֶׂה בְטָהֳרָה:

If her dough became <i>Meduma</i> [mixture of <i>Chulin</i> (permitted foodstuff) and <i>Terumah</i> (a portion of a crop given to a Kohen) that is forbidden to non-<i>Kohanim</i>], before she rolls it, it is exempt from <i>Challah</i>, as <i>Meduma</i> is exempt; after she rolled it, it is obligated. If there was a doubt [concerning purity] before she mixed, it may be completed while she is in a state of impurity; after she rolled it, however, it must be completed in a state of purity.
