Question
I have pieces of challah less than a kezayit, and I want to fry them. Should I recite 'Hamotzi Lechem Min Haaretz' and 'Birkat Hamazon' over them?
Answer
If fried in a little oil, certainly recite 'Hamotzi' and 'Birkat Hamazon'. If fried in deep oil, there is doubt about the blessing, so either eat it within a bread meal or leave one piece larger than a kezayit and recite 'Hamotzi' and 'Birkat Hamazon' on it.
