Tips:

Make sure to use fresh and active yeast. If your yeast is old or inactive, your breadsticks will not rise properly.
If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
If you are using a bread machine, follow the manufacturer's instructions for making dough.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
When shaping the breadsticks, you can make them any size or shape you like. Just be sure to make them uniform so they cook evenly.
Bake the breadsticks in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
Let the breadsticks cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, but they can also be served at room temperature.
