Homemade options can be more cost-effective.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast; let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt; make a well in the center.

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle.

Cut the dough into strips and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Melt butter and mix in minced garlic, salt, and parsley; brush this mixture over the breadsticks.

Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top of each breadstick.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
