Mix the water, sugar, and yeast together in a measuring cup or in the bottom of your mixer. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Add the salt and the flour, one cup at a time, until it is well incorporated.
Mix on high for 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Melt the butter and pour half of it into a jelly roll pan (large cookie sheet).
Place the dough in the center of the pan. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes. (Letting the dough rest makes it MUCH easier to shape!)
Spread the dough out flat onto the pan until it reaches all of the edges. Doing all of the spreading and cutting of these breadsticks in the pan makes cleaning up your counter so much easier!
Pour the other half of the butter onto the dough and spread around with your hands.
Sprinkle Johnny's Garlic Seasoning all over the dough and then the parmesan cheese.
With a pizza cutter cut the dough into three rows lengthwise, and then into about 12 little height-wise rows.
Put the pan into a 170-degree oven for 7-10 minutes.
The breadsticks should rise about 1 inch. Turn your oven up to 350 and bake for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
When they come out of the oven let them sit and rest again for about 5 minutes.
Then redefine your cutting lines with the pizza cutter. I use a pair of cooking scissors to cut the edges where the pizza cutter can't reach.Enjoy!
