Breakfast basket w/ side of tomato sauce (size 6 or 12)

In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until frothy. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, and dried herbs. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Prepare the Dough

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Knead the Dough

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long stick about 1/2 inch thick.

Shape the Bread Sticks

Place the bread sticks on a greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
