Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
• Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
• While the dough rises, prepare the garlic topping: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a large rectangle, about 12x18 inches.
• Brush the dough evenly with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
• Cut the dough into 12 strips, about 1.5 inches wide.
• Twist each strip into a breadstick shape. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Serve warm.
