In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
Add the all-purpose flour, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a long, thin stick, about 15-20 cm each.
Place the sticks on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the sticks.
Sprinkle the sea salt flakes evenly over the top of each stick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the salt sticks cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
