In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, instant yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
Add olive oil, salt, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning to the yeast mixture.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled 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 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long breadstick shape, about 8-10 inches in length.
Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Cover lightly with a kitchen towel and let them rest for 10-15 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
Brush the breadsticks generously with the butter mixture and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the breadsticks immediately after removing them from the oven.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Italian Herb Breadsticks!
