Mesorat%20hashas for Challah 2:8

רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, נִטֶּלֶת מִן הַטָּהוֹר עַל הַטָּמֵא. כֵּיצַד, עִסָּה טְהוֹרָה וְעִסָּה טְמֵאָה, נוֹטֵל כְּדֵי חַלָּה מֵעִסָּה שֶׁלֹּא הוּרָם חַלָּתָהּ, וְנוֹתֵן פָּחוֹת מִכַּבֵּיצָה בָּאֶמְצַע, כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּטֹּל מִן הַמֻּקָּף. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹסְרִין:

Rabbi Eliezer says, <i>Challah</i> may be taken from pure dough on behalf of impure dough. How so? If one has pure dough and impure dough, he takes sufficient <i>Challah</i> from the dough whose <i>Challah</i> has not been taken, and he places an amount less than the [volume of an] egg in the middle, [thus connecting the two] so that he will be taking from that which is nearby, but the Sages forbade this.
