In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water.

Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes.

Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Punch dough down; let stand for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide into 16 pieces.
Shape each piece into a 10 inch rope.
Cut in half.
Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.
Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
Brush egg white over breadsticks; sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
Place an almond slice at the tip of each.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
