Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water (warm, around 110°F/45°C)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Oregano (dried)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, salt, and 1 teaspoon of oregano to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Once the dough starts to come together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a breadstick shape, approximately 6-8 inches long, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Cover the breadsticks loosely with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 15 minutes.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.

Step 9

Brush the butter mixture generously over the risen breadsticks and, if desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the breadsticks from the oven and brush any remaining butter mixture over them while still warm. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once cooled.
