Ingredients - Serves 10

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Stir until a dough forms, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into small pieces and roll each piece into a thin stick.
Place the sticks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
