Instructions

In a large bowl combine 1 cup of flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Stir in the warm water and olive oil.

Gradually add the remaining 1 ½ cups flour, mixing until the dough isn't sticky and forms into a ball. You may need to add up to an additional ½ cup of flour.

Transfer dough to an oiled bowl. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.

On a lightly floured surface divide dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a log about 7 inches long. Transfer to a parchment-lined pan and lightly cover with a dish towel.

Preheat oven to 400°F while letting the dough rise (about 15 minutes).

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic. Brush over breadsticks.

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until breadsticks are golden. Remove from oven.

Melt the remaining butter and brush over the breadsticks. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
