In a large bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined, then gradually add the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let 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.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle, approximately 12x9 inches, and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Brush the garlic butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the dough, covering it evenly.
Optionally, sprinkle dried parsley over the cheese for added flavor and color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the breadsticks are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into breadsticks.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks!
