Cut the cheese lengthwise in half; cut each half into 4 sticks. Freeze the sticks for 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter; mix with your hands until it has a crumbly consistency. Add the water and egg; stir until the mixture forms a smooth dough. Knead it on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes or until it is smooth and elastic; let it rest for 5 minutes. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to make a rectangle; cut it lengthwise into 8 strips. Wrap 1 strip around each cheese stick so that it is completely covered.
