# Both challahs should be complete.<ref> Shulchan Aruch O.C. 274:1. Arukh HaShulchan 274:5 says that if a whole one is not available then the mitzva can nevertheless be fulfilled with two broken ones.</ref> Even if part of the [[challah]] is burnt it is still considered whole. <ref> Mishna Brurah 274:2. </ref> | # Both challahs should be complete.<ref> Shulchan Aruch O.C. 274:1.

# Preferably, both loaves should be fresh but if one is frozen after the fact they may be used for making the Bracha of [[HaMotzei]]. <Ref>Sh”t Yabia Omer 7:32, Or Letzion (vol 2, chapter 21:2). Tshuvot V’hanhagot 2:170 and Shmirat [[Shabbat]] K'hilchata 55:12 say that since the bread will soon become edible it is still evident that you have two loaves. Sh"t Bitzel Hachochma 3:110, and Rav Moshe Feinstein (cited in Radiance of Shabbos page 76) likewise maintained that one may use frozen challah as Lechem Mishnah. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach quoted in note 39 in Semirat Shabbat Kehilchata chapter 55 says that it might only be permissible if the bread will defrost by the end of the meal.</ref> | # Preferably, both loaves should be fresh but if one is frozen after the fact they may be used for making the Bracha of [[HaMotzei]]. <Ref>Sh”t Yabia Omer 7:32, Or Letzion (vol 2, chapter 21:2).
