In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Add softened butter, salt, and flour. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a breadstick shape.
Place the breadsticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake the breadsticks for 12–14 minutes or until golden brown.
Immediately brush the hot breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and salt.
Serve warm and enjoy!
