Italian breadsticks are a classic side dish that can be found in almost any Italian restaurant. These breadsticks are a delicious cross between a cracker and a bread, with a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. They are flavored with garlic powder and Italian spices, which gives them a distinctive flavor that pairs well with pasta dishes and soups.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix the warm water with salt, sugar, yeast, garlic powder, Italian spices, and melted butter.
2.	Gradually stir in the bread flour, 1 cup at a time, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
3.	Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4.	Divide the dough into 12 equal parts.
5.	Roll each part into a thin rope and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each breadstick.
6.	Brush the top of each breadstick with melted butter and sprinkle some additional Italian spices on top.
7.	Let the breadsticks rise for 15-20 minutes and then bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
