Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine sourdough starter, all-purpose flour, and softened butter.

Add grated cheddar cheese and finely chopped fresh rosemary to the mixture.

Season with salt and black pepper, then mix until a dough forms.

If the dough is too dry, add water gradually until it reaches a workable consistency.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut the dough into desired shapes using a knife or cookie cutter.

Place the cut crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
