Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Drizzle the oil over the crusts in a large bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and toss gently until the crusts are evenly coated in the oil. Add the Parmesan and thyme and toss gently to combine. Spread the crusts out in an even layer on 2 baking sheets. Sprinkle any unstuck cheese and thyme over the crusts.
- Bake, tossing about halfway, until the crusts are deep golden and crunchy, about 20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Steps:
- In the bottom of your mixer (I used a KitchenAid mixer), mix together water, sugar, and yeast using your dough hook attachment. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Add in the salt and flour and mix until it's all incorporated. Mix on high speed for 5 minutes, then let dough sit and rest for 5 more minutes.
- Melt the butter and pour half into the bottom of a large baking sheet (I used a cookie sheet that was 17"x 10"x 1"). Spread the butter around the entire pan using a spatula.
- Place the bread dough in the center of the pan and let it sit for a few minutes.
- Spread the dough out (I just used my hands) to the edges of the pan. Pour the rest of the melted butter on top of the breadsticks and spread evenly using a spatula.
- Sprinkle your favorite seasonings on top. For this, anything goes - I use a combination of my favorite seasonings that I have in my pantry (garlic powder, oregano, thyme).
- Sprinkle your seasonings all over the butter, then top with some fresh shredded Parmesan.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut your dough into small breadsticks (doing this before they cook makes it so easy to cut up after they cook). I did rows of 3 x 12 and got 36 breadsticks. You can make these as long or short as you want.
- Stick these breadsticks in a preheated oven at 170 degrees and cook for about 8 minutes (they should rise about an inch during this time). Turn up your oven to 350 degrees (while your breadsticks are still in there - they will continue to bake while the oven preheats) and bake breadsticks for 12-15 more minutes or until they start to turn golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes, then follow the indentations using a pizza cutter to cut the breadsticks.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Proof the yeast in warm water before adding it to the dough. This will help the yeast to activate and produce carbon dioxide, which will make the breadsticks light and airy.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the breadsticks chewy.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide and make the breadsticks light and airy.
- Shape the dough into breadsticks and brush them with olive oil. This will help the breadsticks to brown and give them a crispy crust.
- Bake the breadsticks in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the breadsticks warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
