Scant 2 tablespoons salt
1/4 cup EACH sesame seeds and poppy seeds for garnish
With a rolling pin, roll each portion as thinly as possible. Mix poppy and sesame seeds, and sprinkle on dough, rolling one last time to make seeds stick. Place rolled lavosh dough on wax paper, which has been place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes or until bubbles start forming. Reduce temperature to 275 degrees and bake 12 to 15 minutes more or until lavosh is nicely dry and golden.
