In bowl, combine water, egg whites, salt, sugar and yeast. Using wooden spoon, stir in 2 cups (500 mL) of the flour, cheese and thyme; beat until smooth.

Cover with plastic wrap; let rise for 45 minutes.

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 or oval. Place on lightly greased baking sheets; prick all over with fork. Brush lightly with water; sprinkle with poppy and sesame seeds.
