In a large bowl, combine your warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the surface of the water and let it sit for about ten minutes.
Start adding your all-purpose flour to the bowl one cup at a time. If you have a stand mixer, use the dough hook on low speed, but this dough is very easy to mix by hand with a sturdy spoon.
Continue adding flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a soft ball. It should feel slightly tacky but should not stick to your fingers.
Knead the dough for about five to seven minutes on a lightly floured surface.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. You need to let the dough rise until it has doubled in size, which usually takes about one hour. Once the dough has doubled, gently press it down to release the air bubbles.
Divide your dough into twelve equal pieces. To make them look like a top-notch blog creation, you can weigh each piece on a kitchen scale to ensure they are the same size. Roll each piece of dough into a rope about eight inches long.
Place the breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
