Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup + 2 Tbsp warm water
1 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
2 Tbsp sugar, divided
3 - 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp vegetable oil

Garlic butter topping
2 Tbsp margarine or butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Directions:
Directions:
Measure warm water in a liquid measuring cup. Add yeast and 1 tsp of the sugar and mix until yeast dissolves. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, add yeast mixture, remaining 1 Tbsp + 2 tsp sugar, 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 1/2 tsp salt and vegetable oil and mix to combine.

Add in remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and knead mixture for 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. The dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl but still be slightly sticky. Add remaining 1/4 cup of flour, if needed.

Transfer dough to a large, greased bowl and cover with a dry towel or plastic wrap. Allow to rest in a warm place until double in size (about 1 - 1 1/2 hours).

Once risen, punch dough down and divide it into 12 equal parts. Roll each piece of dough into a 9in rope and transfer to a greased cookie sheet. Cover and let rise again for 1 hour.

(I sprayed the top of my breadsticks with cooking spray to help them get golden while baking.)

Bake breadsticks at 425 degrees F for 10-12 minutes.

While the breadsticks bake, mix the garlic butter topping ingredients together. Brush butter mixture over the tops of the hot, cooked breadsticks. Serve warm. Store in a airtight container.
