In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Incorporate the chopped rosemary and lemon zest into the dough by kneading until evenly distributed.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into thin sticks, approximately 20 cm (8 inches) in length.
Arrange the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Brush the breadsticks lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse sea salt, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Remove the breadsticks from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
