02 - 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
03 - 1 teaspoon sugar
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
05 - 2/3 cup lukewarm water
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 1 egg yolk (for glaze)
08 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

09 - 3.5 ounces triple-cream Brie, cubed
10 - 3.5 ounces aged Comté, cubed
11 - 2.8 ounces truffled goat cheese, shaped into small balls
12 - 2.8 ounces blue cheese (e.g., Roquefort), crumbled
13 - 1.75 ounces Parmigiano Reggiano, shaved
→ Accompaniments (optional)
14 - 1 small bunch seedless red grapes
15 - 2 tablespoons honey or fig jam

# How-To Steps:
01 - In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add lukewarm water and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. 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 has doubled in size.
03 - Preheat oven to 390°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
04 - Divide dough into 18 to 20 small pieces. Roll each into a thin stick approximately 1/8 inch thick and 10 inches long.
05 - Arrange breadsticks on the prepared tray. Lightly brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
06 - Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, turning once midway, until golden and crisp. Allow to cool completely.
07 - On a serving platter, create a mound of cheese cubes and balls in the center. Add grapes, honey or fig jam, and fresh herbs if using.
08 - Carefully construct the dome by layering breadsticks over the cheese mound, using the cheese and breadsticks for support. For stability, gently press breadsticks into the cheese or use a small bowl as a mold, removing it once assembly is complete.
