2 tbsp additional unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Whisk and set aside for about 5 minutes or until foamy.
- Add 2 cups (240g) of all-purpose flour and 3 tablespoons of melted butter to the yeast mixture.

- Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup (60g) of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt while mixing.
- Increase the speed to medium and mix for about 6 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and let it rise for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a 9-inch rope and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each breadstick.
- Loosely cover the breadsticks and let them rise for 30 minutes, or until noticeably puffed.
- Bake for 12 to 17 minutes or until golden.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of melted butter, minced garlic (or garlic powder), and minced parsley (if using). Mix well.
