אוֹכְלִין עֲרַאי מִן הָעִסָּה, עַד שֶׁתִּתְגַּלְגֵּל בַּחִטִּים וְתִטַּמְטֵם בַּשְּׂעוֹרִים. גִּלְגְּלָהּ בַּחִטִּים וְטִמְטְמָהּ בַּשְּׂעוֹרִים, הָאוֹכֵל מִמֶּנָּה חַיָּב מִיתָה. כֵּיוָן שֶׁהִיא נוֹתֶנֶת אֶת הַמַּיִם, מַגְבַּהַת חַלָּתָהּ, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא שָׁם חֲמִשָּׁה רִבְעֵי קֶמַח:

One may eat incidentally from the dough before it is rolled, in the case of wheat flour, or before it was mixed into a cohesive unit, in the case of barley flour. Once one has rolled wheat flour, or mixed barley flour into a cohesive dough, one who eats from it is liable for death [for eating Priestly food]. As soon as she puts in water, she should separate the <i>Challah</i>, provided that there is not [the minimum quantity of] five quarters of a <i>Kav</i> [specific unit of volume] of flour there.
