Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
In a bowl of a stand mixer with dough hook attached combine: flour, instant yeast, olive oil, sugar, salt and water. Knead for about 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can knead with your hands as well.
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 oz. instant yeast, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 2 tsp. granulated sugar, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1 cup warm water
Dust your hands with flour and remove the dough from the bowl.
Place on the baking sheet and roll a rectangular with a rolling pin. About 1/2 inch thick.
Cut in half and then cut about 7 - 9 vertical lines into breadsticks.
Cover with a cloth and leave it for 40 minutes. The dough will rise.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Before baking, melt butter, brush the breadsticks.
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
In a small bowl combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle breadsticks.
2 Tbsp. brown sugar, 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Bake for 20 minutes.

This dough can be easily kneaded by hand also. However, just make sure to dust your hands with flour often to prevent sticking the dough to your hands.
After kneading and cutting into strips leave the dough covered with cloth for 40 minutes or up to 1 hour, the dough needs to rise.
In addition, you can simply make half of the sticks sweet and half savory, just sprinkle with herbs, parmesan cheese or seasonings.
SUBSTITUTIONS: Any oil can be used in place of olive oil.
Meal Prep Tips: Keep breadsticks in container for few days. Warm up in microwave or Air Fryer.
