Tosefta for Pesachim 73:18

מהו דתימא הואיל וכתיב (ויקרא ז, יב) והקריב ממנו

Are they indeed exempt! Then instead of teaching [in] the second clause, 'if prepared in the sun, they are exempt', let him draw a distinction in that itself and teach: When is that? E.g. , if he heated [it] and then placed [the dough]; but if he [first] placed [the dough] and then heated it, they are exempt? There is a lacuna[in this teaching], and it was thus taught: When is that? If he heated [it] and then placed [the dough]; but if he first for the shape to be exactly right and so may take too long over it. But private people are not so particular placed [the dough] and then heated it, it becomes as though he prepared it in the sun, and they are exempt. Come and hear: You discharge your duty with partially baked unleavened bread and unleavened bread which was prepared in an ilpes?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which proves that what is baked in an ilpes is bread, thus refuting R. Simeon b. Lakish.');"><sup>31</sup></span> - Here too it means that he [first] heats it and then places [the dough]. What is partially baked unleavened bread?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' What is the minimum?');"><sup>32</sup></span> - Said Rab Judah in Samuel's name: Whatever can be broken without threads dragging from it.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' It must be baked at least as much as that.');"><sup>33</sup></span> Raba said: And the same [rule applies to] loaves of the thanksoffering.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The thanksoffering was accompanied by forty loaves, which were sanctified by the killing of the sacrifice. As soon as the loaves have arrived at this stage of baking as defined by Rab Judah, they become sanctified by the slaughtering of the sacrifice, and the sacrifice itself valid.');"><sup>34</sup></span> That is obvious: 'bread' is written here and 'bread' is written there?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Obviously then the same definition applies to both. Hallah: when ye eat of the bread of the land (Num. XV, 19) ; the thanksoffering: Lev. VII, 13: with cakes of leavened bread etc.');"><sup>35</sup></span> - You might say, since it is written, and he shall offer one

Tosefta Pesachim

They fulfill [their obligation of eating unleavened bread] with Syrian cakes (which are thicker loaves), whether shaped into figures or whether not shaped into figures. But they may not make Syrian cakes shaped into figures on Passover [itself]. Said Rabbi Yehuda, Boethus ben Zonin asked the the Sages, why is it that they cannot make Syrian cakes shaped into figures on Passover? They said to him, because it takes a woman significant time making them, and [the dough] becomes leavened [during that time]. He said to them, in that case, they can form them using a mold [which would take less time]. They said to him, they will say, all Syrian cakes are forbidden, [but] the Syrian cakes of Boethus are permitted (which would lead to confusion). Rabbi Yosei says, they may Syrian cakes formed into thin wafers, but they may not make Syrian cakes formed into [thick] loaves.
