Commentaire sur Halla 3:5
נָכְרִי שֶׁנָּתַן לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לַעֲשׂוֹת לוֹ עִסָּה, פְּטוּרָה מִן הַחַלָּה. נְתָנָהּ לוֹ מַתָּנָה, עַד שֶׁלֹּא גִלְגֵּל, חַיָּב, וּמִשֶּׁגִּלְגֵּל, פָּטוּר. הָעוֹשֶׂה עִסָּה עִם הַנָּכְרִי, אִם אֵין בְּשֶׁל יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּשִׁעוּר חַלָּה, פְּטוּרָה מִן הַחַלָּה:
Si un non-Juif a donné [de la farine] à un Juif pour faire de la pâte pour lui, il est exempt de Challah ; S'il le lui a offert en cadeau: si avant de rouler la pâte, c'est obligatoire; mais si après l'avoir roulé, il en est exempt. Si l'on fait de la pâte avec un gentil, et si la part du juif n'est pas [au minimum] le minimum pour Challah , la pâte est exemptée de [prendre] Challah .
Bartenura on Mishnah Challah
פטורה מן החלה – for the rolling by an Israelite does not make the dough of a heathen liable [for Hallah], and similarly, the rolling by a heathen of the dough of an Israelite does not make it exempt [from Hallah].

English Explanation of Mishnah Challah
If a Gentile gave [flour] to an Israelite to make for him dough, it is exempt from hallah. Since this flour is owned by a Gentile, it is exempt from hallah, even though the Jew is the one who kneaded it.

English Explanation of Mishnah Challah
If the Gentile gave it to him as a gift, before rolling it, he is liable. If after rolling it, he is exempt. If the Gentile gave the dough to the Jew as a gift, then it will depend on when he gave it to him. If he gave it to him before rolling it, then it is liable for hallah because a Jew owned it when it became liable for hallah. But if he gave it to him after he rolled it, then it is exempt from hallah, because a Gentile owned it when it became liable.

English Explanation of Mishnah Challah
If one makes dough together with a Gentile, then if there is not in [the portion] of the Israelite the minimum measure subject to hallah, it is exempt from hallah. If a Jew joins in a partnership with a Gentile to make dough, then the dough is liable for hallah if the Jew’s portion is the minimum measure of 5/4 of a kav. If not, then the dough is exempt, even if there is together more than 5/4 of a kav.
