Shtei Halechem On The Mizbeach??

לזכות ר' יהודה יעקב בן דינה חאשע לברכה והצלחה בכל מעשי ידיו יחד עם רעייתו שתחי'

Any korban from which part was burned on the mizbeach - one may not burn the rest of it, such as the meat of the chatas, the meat of the asham, the lechem haponim, shtei halechem etc. The gemara [Menachos 57b] derives this from the pasuk כל שאור וכל דבש לא תקטירו ממנו אשה לה'" - כל שהוא ממנו לאישים לא תקטירו" - "Any leaven and any honey one may not burn it as a fire to Hashem" - which teaches that anything that already went [partly] to the fire may not be burned.

Here is a bomb.

Why is the shtei halechem on the list?? Shtei halechem is CHOMETZ so it already forbidden from going on the mizbeach because of the simple meaning of the pasuk - leaven may not go on the mizbeach? We don't have to come on to the fact that part of it was already burned which is just a drasha??

See Sfas Emes [ibid], Minchas Chinuch [117] and much more [what do i put in these brackets??]...
