In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil while mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down slightly to release air. Roll it out into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle the chopped jalapenos evenly over the surface of the dough. If using, also add the shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise, gently pressing it down to seal the ingredients inside.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the folded dough into strips about 1 inch wide.
Take each strip and twist it gently before placing it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush the breadsticks with the beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds or coarse salt on top, if desired.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the breadsticks for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your freshly baked jalapeno breadsticks!
