12 - 2.8 oz blue cheese (e.g., Roquefort), crumbled

# How to Make It:
01 - In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add lukewarm water and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
02 - Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
03 - Preheat oven to 390°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
04 - Divide dough into 18 to 20 pieces. Roll each into a thin stick about 1/8 inch thick and 10 inches long.
05 - Place breadsticks on the tray. Lightly brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
06 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crisp. Allow to cool completely.
07 - On a serving platter, mound the cheeses at the center. Add grapes, honey or fig jam, and fresh herbs if using.
08 - Carefully position the breadsticks into a dome over the cheeses, using the cheeses and breadsticks for support. For extra stability, press breadsticks gently into the cheese or use a small bowl as a mold, removing it once assembled.
