Is he suggesting that if one ate a wrap by itself as a snack, it would be
mezonos? How it is different than a pita?

Are you saying that cake is made from belilah avah? Every cake I've ever
seen my wife make comes from an easily pourable batter, not anything like a
bread dough.

Is there *anyone* who holds that a cooked dough such as spaghetti would
ever be hamotzi? (To be clear, I am referring to a dough that is cooked but
not baked, which means the entire range of pasta, but excludes bagels which
are baked.)
