Making Easy Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Add Flour: Slowly add 2 ½ cups of flour to the yeast mixture, along with salt. Stir until a dough forms, adding more flour as needed until the dough is no longer sticky.
3. Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
4. Let Dough Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm location for about 15-30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
5. Preheat Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
6. Shape Breadsticks: Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll each piece into a long stick, about 6-8 inches long.
7. Prepare Baking Sheet: Place the shaped breadsticks on a greased baking sheet. Brush them with melted butter and sprinkle generously with minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Finishing Touch: Remove the breadsticks from the oven and brush with more melted butter. Sprinkle any remaining Parmesan and optional dried oregano on top for enhanced flavor.
10. Serve Warm: Allow them to cool slightly before serving for the best taste and texture.
