1 3/4 cups water
2 teaspoons yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons oil
4 1/2 to 5 cups flour
2 tablespoons melted butter
garlic salt
Dissolve yeast and sugar and water and let sit a few minutes. Add remaining ingredients and mix until combined, adding the flour a little at a time until the dough is soft but not too sticky. Knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth.
Let rise about 1 hour, until doubled.
Shape into 18 breadsticks and place on two greased pans. Cover and let rise until double, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Bake breadsticks 12–14 minutes, until golden brown. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic salt, if desired.
