How to Make Parmesan And Garlic Breadsticks

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast in 1 cup warm water (105-115°F). Let stand until foamy, about 7-8 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 3 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 cups all-purpose flour.
Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
Stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and enough remaining flour (about 1-1 1/2 cups) to form a soft dough.
Knead with a dough hook for 7-8 minutes, adding additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-15 times.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
Gently punch down the dough and let it rest for 2 minutes.
For thin breadsticks, divide the dough into 36 equal pieces. For thicker breadsticks, divide into fewer pieces (e.g., 18 for thicker sticks).
Roll each piece into a 6-inch rope.
Place breadsticks 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet.
Cover and let rise again until almost doubled, about 25-35 minutes.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and brush over the breadsticks.
Sprinkle generously with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and garlic salt to taste.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from baking sheet and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
