Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Activate Yeast: In a medium bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  2. Make Dough: Add all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a rough dough forms, then knead for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth.
  3. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm area for about 45 to 60 minutes until it doubles in size.
  4. Shape Breadsticks: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and roll into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Slice into strips.
  5. Add Toppings: Mix melted butter with minced garlic and brush over the breadsticks. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top.
  6. Bake: Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  7. Slice & Serve: Let cool slightly, slice into individual sticks, and serve warm with marinara or ranch.
