Heat water until warm but hot to touch.
In small bowl put the sugar and yeast in and add the water, stir
and let sit until frothy about 5- 10
minutes.
In large mixing bowl of a stand mixer put flour and salt in and mix
together.
When yeast mixture is frothy add it to the flour then add the
butter.
With the dough hook attached turn on to stir and let mix together.
If you see that the dough is a little dry you may add a tablespoon
of water until it doesn’t look dry and forms well together.
Let it knead for about 5 minutes.
Put dough on the counter and form into a square, then cut in half.
Cut each half into 4th or until you have about 10 pieces, you can
even go smaller to get 12 if you like.
Now roll each piece like you would play dough into a snake, kids
would love this part.
Lay each bread stick on a greased cookie sheet and cover with tea
towel or plastic wrap and
let rise for 45 minutes to an hour.
Preheat your oven to 400 F.

Bake for 6 minutes.
While they are baking combine the butter, garlic powder, and salt
and microwave until all butter is melted.
After 6 minutes, brush the bread sticks with half the butter
mixture, then bake for 6 more
minutes or until lightly browned.
When they come out of the oven brush the bread sticks with the
rest of the butter mixture and let cool until ready to eat.
