Step 1: Add the first 9 ingredients to a 1 1/2-2 pound bread machine according to the manufacturer's direction. Select the dough cycle. When the cycle is complete remove the dough, punch down and let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Divide the dough into thirds. On a lightly floured surface roll each portion into a 14x10-inch rectangle. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough lengthwise into 1/2-inch wide strips.
Step 3: For each breadstick pick up 2 strips together and twist several times; press ends together. Place the breadstick dough about 1/2-inch apart on a greased baking sheet.
Step 4: Stir the egg and water together, then brush onto the breadsticks. Sprinkle with pepper, salt OR cheese.
Step 5: Bake in a 400 degree F oven for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheet, then cool on wire racks.
