Talmud for Pesachim 79:16

מ"ט משום דלא עבד בהו שימור ולעביד ליה שימור מאפייה ואילך אלא לאו שמע מינה שימור מעיקרא בעינן

Now, if not that it requires washing, for what purpose is the guarding?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For the grain cannot ferment unless there is moisture upon it.');"><sup>25</sup></span> If guarding for the kneading.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., that when it is kneaded care must be taken that it does not turn leaven.');"><sup>26</sup></span> the guarding of kneading is not guarding,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This verse implies that at a certain stage of its manufacture the unleavened bread must be guarded for the express purpose of fulfilling the law prescribing the eating of unleavened bread. Hence, if a man eats on the first night of Passover only unleavened bread which was not guarded expressly for that purpose, he does not do his duty. Now Raba states that the guarding that is given to it at the stage of kneading is not considered 'guarding' in this respect.');"><sup>27</sup></span>

“Water used by a baker274.Water in which he dips his hands while kneading the dough. This water will contain particles. has to be poured out because it makes leavened.” There are Tannaim who state, he pours it into a depression282It is presumed that the water will be absorbed into the ground.. There are Tannaim who state, he pours it into a declivity283Greek adjective καταφερές, “inclined”.. Rebbi Yose said, he who said, he pours it into a depression, if the depression was large. He who said, he pours it into a declivity, if the declivity was consierable. Rebbi Phineas said to him in the name of Rebbi Ila: So was he284In G: “so was my teacher …”. discussing it: If he soaked wheat or barley grains in water, if they became leavened, they are forbidden; if they did not become leavened, they are permitted. Rebbi Yose said, if he soaked barley in water, if they split they are forbidden285Babli 40a.. If he soaked them in vinegar they are permitted since the vinegar contracts them.
