Ingredients

6 cups all-purpose flour divided, or 7 cups
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp yeast instant or quick
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 1/2 cups warm water 105 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit
1/2 cup salted butter melted
1/4 cup salted butter melted
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 pinch salt
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

Add 1 cup of flour, sugar, yeast, salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
Pour in the warm water and 1/2 cup melted butter, then mix until combined.
Add 2 more cups of flour and stir with a spoon until the dough starts coming together.
Use a stand mixer with a dough hook, or knead by hand, and gradually add the remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
Stop adding flour when the dough is smooth and slightly tacky, but not too sticky.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, then cut each piece into 6 smaller pieces to make 24 pieces total.
Roll each piece into a breadstick shape about 6 inches long and 1 inch wide, then place on the baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until lightly golden, then brush with a mixture of the remaining melted butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve warm.

Notes

Active dry yeast works, but needs more rise time.
Whole wheat flour works, but breadsticks may be denser.
