מנחות פרק ה׳ משנה ב׳
All the meal-offerings that come as matza are to be kneaded with lukewarm water so that the dough will bake well, as only a small amount of oil is added. And one must watch over them to ensure that they do not become leaven while kneading and shaping them, and if a meal offering or even only its remainder becomes leaven, one violates a prohibition, as it is stated: “No meal offering that you shall bring to the Lord shall be made with leaven; as you shall burn no leaven nor any honey as an offering made by fire to the Lord” (Leviticus 2:11). And one is liable to be flogged for kneading the meal offering, and for shaping it, and for baking it, if the meal offering becomes leaven.
כָּל הַמְּנָחוֹת נִלּוֹשׁוֹת בְּפוֹשְׁרִין, וּמְשַׁמְּרָן שֶׁלֹּא יַחֲמִיצוּ. וְאִם הֶחֱמִיצוּ שְׁיָרֶיהָ, עוֹבֵר בְּלֹא תַעֲשֶׂה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא ב), כָּל הַמִּנְחָה אֲשֶׁר תַּקְרִיבוּ לַה' לֹא תֵעָשֶׂה חָמֵץ. וְחַיָּבִים עַל לִישָׁתָהּ, וְעַל עֲרִיכָתָהּ, וְעַל אֲפִיָּתָהּ:

שנאמר כל המנחה אשר תקריבו לה׳ לא תעשה חמץ. ארישא קאי דקתני ומשתמרות שלא יחמיצו, וקודם קמיצה משתעי. ושייריה ילפינן מקרא אחרינא דכתיב (שם ו,) לא תאפה חמץ חלקם, אף חלקם של כהנים שהם שיירי המנחה שנשארו מן הקומץ, אף זו לא תאפה חמץ. ובחמץ דוקא הוזהרו על השיריים, אבל מותר ללוש אותם בדבש ולטגנן בו:
עריכתה. שמתעסק בה בידים אחר לישה. וחייבין על כל אחת ואחת, לפי שנאמר לא תעשה חמץ, יכול לא יהא חייב אלא אחת, תלמוד לומר לא תאפה, אפייה בכלל היתה ולמה יצאת להקיש אליה, מה אפייה מיוחדת שהיא מעשה יחידי וחייבין עליה בפני עצמה, אף אני אביא לישתה ועריכתה וכל מעשה יחידי שבה, לאתויי קיטוף שהוא מעשה יחידי וחייבין עליה בפני עצמה. וקיטוף הוא שמחליק פניה במים ואע״ג דלא מחזי כל כך מעשה:
שנאמר כל המנחה אשר תקריבו לה' לא תעשה חמץ – it refers to the first clause [of the Mishnah] as it teaches that they are watched so that they do not become leavened, and it is speaking of prior to grabbing a handful . But the residue/remnants we derive from a different verse, as it is written (Leviticus 6:10): “It shall not be baked with leaven; [I have given it] as their portion [from My gifts],” even the portion of the priests which are the residue of the meal-offering that remained from the handful, even this shall not be baked with leaven, and with leaven, it is especially mentioned regarding the residue, but it is permitted to knead them with honey and to fry them with oil in it.
עריכתה (rolling it) – when he engages it with his hands after kneading, and they are liable for each and every one, for since it is says (Leviticus 2:11): “[No grain offering that you offer to the LORD] shall be made with leaven,” he is not able to be liable except for one [offering], the inference teaches us that “it should not be baked” (Leviticus 6:10), that baking was included and why was it excluded, to make an analogy of Biblical verses to it, just as baking is special that it is the action of an individual and one is liable for it on its own, even I include kneading it and rolling it and all individual actions regarding it, to include forming and smoothing the surface of the dough which is the action of an individual and we are liable for it on its own. And forming and smoothing the surface of the dough is smoothing its face in water and even though it does not appear so much as an action.
