In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 10x15 inches in size.
Spray the dough lightly with olive oil spray, then sprinkle the garlic powder evenly across the surface of the rolled out dough.
Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into 16 strips, each about 1 inch wide.
Carefully transfer the strips to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each strip.
Lightly spray the top of the breadsticks with olive oil spray, then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and dried oregano over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
