Commentary for Avodah Zarah 70:18

רב יוסף ואיתימא רב שמואל בר יהודה אמר לא כך היה מעשה אלא אמרו פעם אחת הלך רבי למקום אחד וראה פת דחוק לתלמידים אמר רבי אין כאן פלטר כסבורין העם לומר פלטר עובד כוכבים והוא לא אמר אלא פלטר ישראל

R. Joseph, and if you want you can say, R. Shmuel b. Judah said: This was not how it happened. Rather they said, Rabbi once went to a certain place and observed that his disciples experienced difficulty in obtaining bread; so he asked, “Is there no baker here?” People thought that he was asking for a Gentile baker, but he really was referring to a Jewish baker.

Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah

This is a different version of how people came to mistakenly believe that Rabbi allowed non-Jewish bread.
