Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Stir in yeast and let sit for five minutes until frothy.
Add salt and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
Knead on a floured surface for about five minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for one hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough, divide into equal pieces, and shape each piece into six-inch sticks.
Preheat oven to 375?F (190?C). Place breadsticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

Use fresh yeast for optimal rising.

Experiment with flavors by adding garlic powder or cheese directly into the dough.

Pair with marinara sauce or garlic butter dip for an extra treat.
