2 pkgs. active dry yeast
1 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 c. warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
1/4 c. oil
1/2 c. shredded cheese
3 to 3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 egg white, beaten with 1 tbsp. water
Sesame or poppy seeds
Coarse salt

Dissolve yeast with sugar in warm water. Let stand 5 minutes. Add oil. Add cheese. Stir in 1 cup of the flour and salt, mixing well. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until dough is spongy. Knead on lightly floured surface until dough is smooth and satiny. Cover. Let rest 5 minutes. Shape dough into an 18 inch roll. Cut in 1 inch pieces. Let dough rest 5 minutes longer. Roll each piece into a bread stick, using your palms to stretch dough. Brush with egg white- water mixture. Roll in sesame or poppy seeds. Place on greased baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle with salt. Let rise about 30 minutes until puffy. Bake at 300 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
