Halacha Yomis - Hafrashas challah, store bought dough OU Kosher Halacha Yomis This column is dedicated in memory of: Rav Chaim Yisroel Belsky, zt'l Senior OU Kosher Halachic Consultant (1987-2016)


Q. I sometimes buy several bags of pizza dough from the supermarket, and bake them together. Do I need to take challah? A. Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh De’ah 330:1) writes that the dough of a non-Jew is exempt from the mitzvah of hafrashas challah. This is true, even if the dough is later given to a Jew who bakes it into bread. If the dough was made by a Jewish owned company that is certified by the OU, you can be assured that the OU arranged for challah to be taken.
