In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix well with a wooden spoon until a soft dough begins to form.
Gradually add the remaining flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Lightly grease another bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place the dough in it. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a rope about 9 inches long and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in the garlic powder until well combined.
Brush the breadsticks generously with garlic butter.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
After removing from the oven, immediately brush with more garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve the garlic breadsticks warm.
