But...
If the matzah is sufficiently baked but insufficiently kneeded, would
any of the dry flour that went through the oven be still capable of
becoming chaneitz if wet? If the dough is now too baked to rise any
further, wouldn't lo kol shekein any flour -- a fine powder -- be to
toasted to be a problem? See Hil Chameitz uMatzah 5:5, which discvusses
things not to do because "shelma lo qulhu yafeh." But where the flour
is within baked matzah, how is that possible?
