In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin breadstick, about 8-10 inches long.
Lay the breadsticks evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash onto the breadsticks.
Sprinkle the breadsticks with your choice of topping: a mixture of garlic powder and seasoned salt, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm as a side dish, or enjoy on their own as a snack!
