By the way, R’ David Feinstein holds melba toast is hamotzi (heard from a rav who heard it from his mouth).
Ok. I don’t even really know what melba toast is. I was thinking about stuff like bagel chips (he might also hold those are hamotzi, in which case I know that I have a different psak.)
So you are saying that although a small piece of bread less than a kzayis needs a hamotzi as i mentioned above brought down in SA, but if you toast it it becomes mezonos? I dont think so.
No, because then it was bread already.
No, because then it was bread already.
But so was the bagel chip you are talking about!
No, because my bagel chip was never made as bread. When it was baked, it was just a step in the bagel chip making process. That is why I make mezonos on bagel chips from a store, but hamotzi on bagel chips from a bagel store where they just chipped some of the bagels they had already made.
If people make hamotzi on all bagel chips, I’m guessing it is that they don’t believe the svara of the baking being a step in the bagel chipping.
