In a large bowl, combine the warm water and honey, stirring until the honey has dissolved.
Add the instant yeast to the water and honey mixture and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Once the yeast is activated, add olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and oregano to the bowl and mix well.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp 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.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles and transfer it to a floured surface.
Roll the dough out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips about 1/2 inch wide and 6 inches long.
Place the strips onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread sticks are golden brown and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
