In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and instant yeast.
In a separate small bowl, mix together warm water, olive oil, and honey until the honey is fully dissolved.
Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the flour-yeast mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes in a warm place to rise slightly.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
After resting, divide the dough into 16 equal portions and roll each into a stick approximately 10 inches long.
Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring adequate space between them for even baking.
In a small bowl, mix sesame seeds, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Lightly brush the tops of the breadsticks with olive oil and sprinkle the sesame seed mixture evenly over them.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
