25 15 40

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water, divided
1/3 cup canola oil
1 egg white
TOPPING:
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Gradually add 2/3 cup water and oil, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 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° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately cut along the scored lines; cool in pans on wire racks. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 4 dozen.
