Steps:

Bring honey to a boil in a heavy saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring with wooden spoon. Add sesame seeds, lemon juice, cinnamon, cardamom, and coriander, tossing to combine until light and golden.
Turn the dough onto a cookie sheet lined with half of the parchment or wax paper and fold the other half over the dough. Roll out dough between papers to a 1/4 inch thinness. Allow to cool.
Using a ruler and a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough through the papers into bars or squares of your favorite size. To serve, peel papers off and enjoy your sesame bar!

Toast the sesame seeds. You can spread them in a pan and put them in the oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit or you can toast them in a pan. You want them to get a bit of color but not too brown.
Pour the honey in medium sauce pan and heat the honey until it starts to bubble. Let it boil for 4-5 minutes. If you have a food thermometer, you boil until honey reaches a temperature of 250 F (125 C).
Pour the toasted sesame seeds, lower the heat and stir. Making sure all ingredients are moxed well together. Heat the mixture for 2-3 minutes more (the more it cooks the crunchier it will be-but be careful of scorching). To check if it is ready, take a small amount and drop it in a glass with water, it should stay in a ball, if it spreads out it still needs to be heated.
Line a pan with slight greased (I spray or brush with olive oil) wax paper or parchment paper and pour the sesame mixture, place another sheet of wax paper on top (also greased) and spread out the sesame-honey mix with a rolling pin. I prefer to do this step directly on the table instead of using a pan, that way I can spread as thin as I like (mine are rolled out to ¼ inch thick).
