b)[line 34]חלהCHALAH
Whenever a person kneads a dough made from one of the five species of grain (wheat, barley, oats, rye, or spelt), he must separate a small portion to be given to the Kohen, as specified in Bamidbar 15:17-21. This portion is called Chalah. The requirement to separate Chalah with a Berachah only applies to a dough made from the volume of 43.2 Beitzim of flour (about 10 1/2 cups or 2.48 liters). An amount about half that much requires Chalah to be separated without a Berachah. A baker must separate 1/48 of his dough as Chalah, while a normal homeowner must separate 1/24.

Our Mishnah - which says that Nedarim are grounds for divorce even when the woman fulfills them - is discussing specifically Nidrei Inuy Nefesh - TOSFOS 71a DH v'Im.)
