Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
- Place flour, salt, sugar, and grated cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir together until well mixed. Add rosemary; drizzle with olive oil and add water. Mix with a fork until mixture comes together in a fairly sticky dough and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer dough onto floured surface and add flour as you knead the dough. Knead until it no longer sticks to work surface, 4 to 5 minutes. Divide dough in half.
- Dust work surface with flour. Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness or less. Brush or mist surface of dough very lightly with water. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Prick the entire surface of dough with the tines of a fork to prevent crackers from puffing too much when baking.
- Cut each rolled out half into about 30 pieces with a pizza wheel. You can cut them out in squares, rectangles, or triangles--your choice. Transfer onto prepared baking sheet with a bench scraper or your floured fingers (dough will be very sticky).
- Bake in preheated oven until perfectly browned and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness.

Tips:
- Prepare the dough properly: Make sure the butter and shortening are cold and cut into small pieces before incorporating them into the flour mixture. This will help create a flaky texture.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before rolling and baking helps prevent the crackers from spreading too much and keeps them nice and crisp.
- Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter: To get clean, even cuts, use a sharp knife or pastry cutter when slicing the dough into crackers.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Leave some space between the crackers on the baking sheet so that they have room to spread and crisp up.
- Watch the baking time: Keep an eye on the crackers while they are baking so that you can remove them from the oven as soon as they are golden brown.
- Store the crackers properly: Once the crackers are cool, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
