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.
