3. 3
   { OR mix everything by hand in a bowl (*be sure to use finely grated beet here), until combined and it sticks together (in this case, the texture will be very grainy, with plenty of bits and pieces and whole flax seeds). }
4. 4
   Transfer dough to a baking sheet, cover with cling film and flatten into a disk, 2-4mm thick. Sprinkle with orange zest, sesame seeds, a little salt and pepper, put the cling film back in place and press gently with the pin roll. Using a knife or pizza cutter to cut into desired shapes and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges start to crisp.
5. 5
   Check after the 20 minute mark and if the edges are ready but the middle is not yet done, remove the crackers that are ready, separate the rest and spread them evenly in the baking tray, flipping them if too moist underneath. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
