How do you make these crackers?

The best part about this recipe is that you don’t have to knead anything. You just have to put everything in the blender. The dough will be very moist.

First put the eggs in the blender and beat them well.
Then add the oil, salt, spices and water.
Take a separate bowl. Mix in the three types of flour. Then put them in the blender as well.
You can also add some seeds to the dough. Or you can save the seeds to sprinkle on the surface of the crackers. This will give them a lot of flavor and a savory texture.
Cover this mixture with transparent foil and put it in the fridge for about an hour to rest.
Brush a large flat piece of parchment paper with a little oil to prevent the dough from sticking. Now roll out the dough.

Then scatter the seeds until they are evenly dispersed.
Preheat the oven to 200° and bake the dough for twenty to thirty minutes.
Then remove it from the oven and let it cool. When it has cooled, you can break the dough into smaller pieces.
If the seeds don’t stick very well to the surface, smear a little beaten egg on them before baking.
