1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Add flour, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
6. Roll each piece into a breadstick shape and place on a baking sheet.
7. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
8. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and dried parsley. Brush over the hot breadsticks.
