Ingredients

2 tablespoons active dry yeast
2 pinches white sugar
1/2 cup warm water
6 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 cups hot water
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
2

Dissolve yeast and 2 pinches white sugar in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
3

Mix 4 cups flour, hot water, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl; pour yeast mixture into the flour mixture and mix. Add remaining flour, one cup at a time, mixing well between additions. Continue to work the mixture until you have a dough; divide dough into 2 halves. Divide each half into 12 long bread sticks and arrange onto prepared baking sheets.
4

Pour melted butter and sprinkle Parmesan cheese and garlic powder over the breadsticks.
5

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 13 minutes.
