The Jewish People receive a series of laws concerning social justice. Topics include: Proper treatment of Jewish servants; a husband's obligations to his wife; penalties for hitting people and for cursing parents, judges, and leaders; financial responsibilities for damaging people or their property, either by oneself or by one's animate or inanimate property, or by pitfalls that one created; payments for theft; not returning an object that one accepted responsibility to guard; the right to self-defense of a person being robbed.
Other topics include: Prohibitions against seduction; witchcraft, bestiality and sacrifices to idols. The Torah warns us to treat the convert, widow and orphan with dignity, and to avoid lying. Usury is forbidden and the rights over collateral are limited. Payment of obligations to the Temple should not be delayed, and the Jewish People must be Holy, even concerning food. The Torah teaches the proper conduct for judges in court proceedings. The commandments of Shabbat and the Sabbatical year are outlined. Three times a year — for Pesach, Shavuot and Succot — we are to come to the Temple. The Torah concludes this listing of laws with a law of kashrut to not cook or mix meat and milk.

חימום פת בשבת
שאלה: במאפיה הסמוכה לביתינו, מוכרים לחם מיוחד לשבת (“פרנה”), ושמנו לב שלפעמים במרכז הלחם, יש חלק שאינו אפוי. האם יש בעיה בחימום הלחם הזה בשבת?
תשובה: ראשית, נכון הדבר, שדבר שנאפה לפני שבת, מותר לחזור ולחמם אותו בשבת על גבי הפלאטה, מפני ש”אין אפיה אחרי אפיה”, ומאחר והפת כבר אפויה לגמרי, הרי שבהמשך החימום שלה, אף על פי שהיא חוזר להתחמם, אין איסור בשבת.
ולמעשה, פסק מרן השלחן ערוך (בסימן שיח סעיף ד), שמאכל שלא נגמר בישולו לפני שבת, יש איסור לחזור ולבשל אותו, או לחמם אותו, בשבת. והסביר הגאון המשנה ברורה, שהכוונה בזה, שכל זמן שהתבשיל לא התבשל “כל צרכו”, לגמרי, יש איסור לחמם אותו בשבת.
ומכאן התשובה לשאלה שלפנינו. מי שקונה מאפה כזה, שלא נאפה כל צרכו, הרי שאסור בהחלט לחזור ולחמם אותו בשבת על גבי הפלאטה.
ולסיכום: פת שלא נאפתה כראוי לפני שבת, אסור לחזור ולחמם אותה בשבת.
Warming Up Bread on Shabbat

All Our Dear Soldiers
May Hashem give them strength and courage to vanquish our enemies and may they return home safe and sound amid health and joy.

Question: The bakery next to our house sells special bread for Shabbat (“Frena”) and we noticed that sometimes, there is an area in the middle of the bread that is not baked well. Is there any issue heating such bread up on Shabbat?
Answer: Firstly, it is correct that something baked before Shabbat may be warmed on an electric hotplate on Shabbat since “there is no baking after baking.” Since the bread is already fully baked, reheating it on Shabbat is fully permissible.
Ben Derosai
The Rishonim disagree regarding whether continuing to cook a food on Shabbat that was cooked to the level of “Ben Derosai,” i.e., only partially cooked, is a Torah prohibition or not. (Ben Derosai was an infamous bandit who would commonly cook his food only partially and eat it as such. See Rashi Shabbat 20a.)
Halachically speaking, Maran Ha’Shulchan Aruch (Chapter 318, Section 4) rules that it is forbidden to cook or reheat a food on Shabbat that has only been partially cooked before Shabbat. The Mishnah Berura explains that as long as the food has not yet been fully cooked, it is forbidden to heat it up on Shabbat.
The Law Regarding Bread
There is no distinction between a cooked food and bread regarding this law, for even a baked good that has not been fully baked before Shabbat may not be reheated on Shabbat, for doing so continues the act of cooking/baking on Shabbat, which is certainly forbidden.
Thus, regarding the above question, if one purchases bread which has not been baked well, it is absolutely forbidden to reheat it on the electric hotplate on Shabbat.
Things Which Cause Difficulty in Torah Study
On a side note, the Gemara (Horayot 13b) states that one of the things which causes one not to succeed in one’s Torah study and not understand well what one is learning is eating bread which was not baked well. Thus, doing so is spiritually harmful as well.
Summary: Bread which was not baked well before Shabbat may not be reheated on Shabbat.
