:Question

I made a batch of dough for yeast cake, and another batch of dough for my Shabbos challahs. Each batch on its own does not contain enough flour for hafrashas challah, but together they would. Can I combine them in order to separate challah?

:Answer

The two doughs cannot be combined for hafrashas challah because they taste different, and people are generally careful not to mix them up. However, according to some opinions they do combine if placed in a container together. If you did place both doughs in one container or bag together, it is best to separate challah without a brachah.
