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 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 F.
- Make the topping: Brush the breadsticks with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
- Bake until slightly 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.
- Serve warm with salad.

Tips:
- Use fresh, active dry yeast for the best results.
- Proof the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dough. This will help to ensure that the yeast is active and will produce a light and airy breadstick.
- Use bread flour for a chewier breadstick. Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which will result in a more elastic dough.
- Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the breadsticks their structure.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide, which will cause the dough to rise.
- Shape the dough into breadsticks and brush them with melted butter. This will help to give the breadsticks a golden brown color and a crispy crust.
- Bake the breadsticks in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
