In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil into the dry ingredients while stirring until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for 10-15 minutes or until slightly puffy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet into a rectangle approximately 10x12 inches in size.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat and stir in the garlic powder.
Brush half of the garlic butter over the rolled-out dough.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small margin at the edges.
Sprinkle the dried oregano over the cheese layer.
Fold the dough in half lengthwise, pressing the edges to seal, and cut into 1-inch strips.
Twist each strip gently and lay them flat on the baking sheet.
Brush the remaining garlic butter over the twisted breadsticks.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving warm. Enjoy the cheesy goodness!
