midrash - Reshit is Torah or khalla ? Contradiction


In the beginning of midrash rabbah we read from rav Oshaya :


וְאֵין רֵאשִׁית אֶלָּא תּוֹרָה There is no "Reshit" except Torah


and there, just after :


וְאֵין רֵאשִׁית אֶלָא חַלָּה There is no "Reshit" except Khalla


So what do we choose ?


Thanks !
