📋 Instructions

1. 1Wake the yeast — Stir the warm water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl and let it sit 5 minutes until foamy on top. If nothing foams, your yeast is dead and you should start with a fresh packet.
2. 2Mix the dough — Add the flour, salt, and melted butter and stir until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a floured counter 5 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
3. 3Let it rest — Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest 10 minutes; it will relax and become much easier to stretch.
4. 4Heat the oven — Heat the oven to 425F (220C) and lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet so the dough does not stick.
5. 5Stretch and dock — Press the dough into a rough 10x14-inch rectangle on the sheet and prick it all over with a fork to prevent bubbles.
6. 6Par-bake the base — Bake 8 minutes until the surface looks dry and just set, then pull the pan out; it should not brown yet.
7. 7Add the cheese — Scatter the mozzarella and Parmesan over the dough, then return to the oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is bubbling at the edges and golden brown.
8. 8Finish with garlic butter — Stir the minced garlic, garlic powder, and oregano into the remaining melted butter and brush it over the hot breadsticks; they are done when the cheese pulls in long strands.
9. 9Slice and serve — Cut into strips with a pizza cutter and serve warm, while the cheese is still stretchy.
