Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine flour, sesame seeds, Parmesan cheese, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt. Gradually add 2/3 cup water and oil, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8 to 10 times.

Divide dough in half. Roll each ball directly on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray into a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Pierce dough with a fork.

Whisk together egg white and remaining water; brush over dough. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over tops.

Score dough in each pan into 24 pieces. Bake at 400°F for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately cut along the scored lines; cool in pans on wire racks. Store in an airtight container.
