Using the dough hook attachment, slowly add the flour. Mix until the dough starts to form a loose ball.
Cover the mixing bowl with a dish towel and let the dough proof for 30-45 minutes or until it has doubled.
Baking
Preheat your oven to 350°. Prepare a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Melt the butter and pour half onto the sheet pan's bottom.
Place the dough in the center of the sheet pan. Starting in the middle, press the dough outward toward the edges.
Pour the remaining melted butter over the top of the dough, ensuring it's fully covered.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning evenly over the top.
Let the breadsticks sit for 15-20 minutes or until the dough rises about 1 inch.
Using a pizza cutter, cut the breadsticks into rows as desired.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until they are slightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
