In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it stand for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together.
Add the yeast mixture and the olive oil to the flour. Mix well until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 25 cm (10 inches) long.
Spread the sesame seeds on a plate. Roll each dough rope in the sesame seeds, pressing lightly to ensure the seeds stick.
Arrange the sesame-coated dough ropes on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each breadstick.
Lightly spray the breadsticks with nonstick cooking spray to enhance crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
