Add the water, sugar and yeast to a bowl and mix well - set aside till mixture is frothy (about 5 minutes).
Then, add flour and salt together into a bowl and mix, add the yeast/water mixture and cheddar and knead till dough isn’t sticky.
Oil a bowl and set dough in it. Cover with a warm moist towel and set aside for 1 hour.
Dough will be double in size. At this point divide dough into 4 balls. Roll each ball out into a tube. Divide tube into four “fingers”. Shape into Walking Dead-type fingers. Brush with egg wash. Add a slivered almond for the nail.
Bake breadsticks in a oven that’s been preheated to 425 degrees F for approx. 15 minutes.
