One-Hour Soft Buttery Breadsticks - Salted and Cinnamon-Sugar (vegan)

all-purpose flour (bread flour may be substituted; breadsticks will be firmer and chewier rather than softer and fluffier; you may only need 2 cups bread flour)

water, warmed to manufacturer’s directions

instant dry yeast (one 1/4-ounce packet, I use Red Star Platinum)

olive oil

granulated sugar

salt, optional and to taste (I prefer to sprinkle salt over the baked breadsticks than add it to the dough)

unsalted butter (or vegan buttery spread) melted for brushing/drizzling, divided

Kosher or sea salt for sprinkling, optional

cinnamon-sugar for sprinkling, optional (I use 2 tablespoons granulated sugar to 1 heaping teaspoon cinnamon)
