Steps:
- Make the dough: Place 1/4 cup warm water in the bowl of a mixer; sprinkle in the yeast and set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the flour, butter, sugar, fine salt and 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons warm water; mix with the paddle attachment until a slightly sticky dough forms, 5 minutes.
- Knead the dough by hand on a floured surface until very smooth and soft, 3 minutes. Roll into a 2-foot-long log; cut into 16 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Knead each piece slightly and shape into a 7-inch-long breadstick; arrange 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a cloth; let rise in a warm spot until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Make the topping: Brush the breadsticks with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt with the garlic powder and oregano. Brush the warm breadsticks with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with the flavored salt.
Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly: Ensure the water is warm enough (around 110-115°F) to activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it's too cold, the yeast won't activate.
- Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic provides the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder, but the flavor won't be as pronounced.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: A warm place will help the dough rise quickly. You can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on, or you can place it in a sunny spot in your kitchen.
- Don't over-mix the dough: Over-mixing the dough will make the breadsticks tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Bake the breadsticks until golden brown: The breadsticks should be golden brown on top and cooked through in the center. If you're not sure if they're done, insert a toothpick into the center of a breadstick. If the toothpick comes out clean, the breadsticks are done.
