In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a long breadstick shape, approximately 8-10 inches long, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the breadsticks with a towel and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.
While the breadsticks bake, mix the melted butter with garlic powder.
As soon as the breadsticks come out of the oven, brush them liberally with the garlic butter mixture.
Optional: Sprinkle warm breadsticks with grated Parmesan cheese and dried Italian herbs for extra flavor.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as marinara, cheese dip, or garlic butter.
