2 answers, one halachic one practical.

If you  cannot (or did not) take Challah in the dough status you can take 
it from the baked product.  That is also what you do when there is a 
Jewish baker that does not take Challah.  (Normally that would be a 
rarety that they would have hashgacha,  but there is one bakery in the SF 
Bay area that one is told to separate Challah)

If there was a big enough hypothetical bread machine, one could open the 
cover in the final rising stage and take out a piece for Challah.
