מנחות פרק י"א משנה ג׳
With regard to the twelve loaves of the High Priest’s griddle-cake offering, of which six are offered in the morning and six in the evening, their kneading, the forming of their loaves, and their baking take place inside the Temple courtyard, and all types of labor involved in those actions override Shabbat. These labors cannot be performed prior to Shabbat, as once the loaves are consecrated in a service vessel they are disqualified if they are left overnight. Grinding their flour and sifting their flour do not override Shabbat. Rabbi Akiva stated a principle: Any labor that can be performed on Shabbat eve does not override Shabbat, but one that cannot be performed on Shabbat eve overrides Shabbat.
חֲבִתֵּי כֹהֵן גָּדוֹל, לִישָׁתָן וַעֲרִיכָתָן וַאֲפִיָּתָן בִּפְנִים, וְדוֹחוֹת אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת. טִחוּנָן וְהֶרְקֵדָן אֵינָן דּוֹחוֹת אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת. כְּלָל אָמַר רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא, כָּל מְלָאכָה שֶׁאֶפְשָׁר לָהּ לֵעָשׂוֹת מֵעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, אֵינָה דּוֹחָה אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת. וְשֶׁאִי אֶפְשָׁר לָהּ לֵעָשׂוֹת מֵעֶרֶב שַׁבָּת, דּוֹחָה אֶת הַשַּׁבָּת:

חביתי כהן גדול לישתן ועריכתן בפנים. לדברי הכל. שאותו חצי עשרון שחולק בו עשרונו של כהן גדול נמשח ונתקדש ומקדש את המנחה:
ודוחות את השבת. לפי שאי אפשר לעשות לישה ועריכה ואפייה מאתמול, דכיון דמיקדשא בכלי מיפסלא בלינה:
חביתי כהן גדול לישתן ועריכתן בפנים – according to the words of everyone. For that one-half Issaron that they divide its Issaron of the High Priest who is anointed and sanctified and sanctifies the meal offering (see also Tractate Menahot, Chapter 4, Mishnah 5 and Chapter 6, Mishnah 5).
ודוחות את השבת – because it is impossible to perform its kneading and its rolling and its baking from the day before, for since it is sanctified in a vessel, it becomes defiled staying overnight [This principle is also taught in Tractate Shabbat, Chapter 19, Mishnah 1 with regard to ritual circumcision and in Tractate Pesahim, Chapter 6, Mishnah 2 with regard to the Passover offering].
