Hi Jessica,

Try the one below.

Armenian Flatbread
Crisp flatbread, more like a mega-cracker than a loaf of bread, is very popular.

1/2 cup Warm water 125 mL
4 Egg whites 4
1 tbsp Butter, melted 15 mL
1 tsp Salt 5 mL
1 tsp Granulated sugar 5 mL
1 tsp Active dry yeast 5 mL
2-1/2 cups All-purpose flour (approx) 625 mL
1 tbsp Each, sesame and poppy seeds 15 mL

Directions:

In bowl, combine water, egg whites, butter, salt, sugar and yeast. Using
wooden spoon, stir in 2 cups (500 mL) of the flour; beat until smooth. Add
enough of the remaining flour to form soft dough.

Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface; knead several times or until
dough holds together. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease all over.
Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place for about 1-1/4 hours or
until doubled in bulk.

Punch down dough and turn out onto lightly floured surface; divide into 4
portions. Roll out each portion into 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick circle. Place on
lightly greased baking sheets. Prick all over with fork. Brush lightly with
water; sprinkle with sesame seeds and poppy seeds.

Bake in 400 F (200 C) oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from baking sheets and let cool on racks. Cut each into 8 wedges.

Makes 32 pieces.
