In a mixing bowl, add bread flour, yeast, garlic powder, sugar, Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, Evoo and water. Using the dough hook attachment of a stand mixer, kneed into a dough. If you don't have stand mixer, you can kneed by hand. Add a little water if the dough is too hard. It must be of a soft consistency. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 9 or 10 portions. Shape them each into a ball and roll each into a 9" rope. Place them on a greased baking sheet with about 1" spacing between each. Cover and let raise in a warm place for at least 40 minutes or until doubled.

Pre-heat oven to 350 F and bake for about 20 min or until the bread sticks turn golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Brush warm bread sticks with butter and serve hot. Sit back and enjoy break sticks with marinara sauce or dip of your choice!
