In a large mixing bowl, combine the water, sugar and yeast. Let rest 2 minutes. Stir in the olive oil and salt.
Using the dough hook, gradually stir in 3 cups of the flour, until a dough forms. Increase speed to medium and mix for 5 minutes, adding more flour ¼ cup at a time until dough is tacky.
Spread 4 tablespoons of melted butter in each bottom of two 9×13-inch baking dishes; set aside.
Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into a rough 9×13-inch rectangle and transfer to the buttered baking dishes. Press to fit into corners of the pans. Brush with 1 more tablespoon of melted butter each. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
Combine breadsticks seasoning ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
Preheat oven to 475°F.
Remove plastic wrap. Score each pan of dough into 10 equal breadsticks. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are golden.
Remove from oven. Brush each pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon each of melted butter and sprinkle with breadsticks seasoning. Let rest 5 minutes then transfer to cutting board. Serve warm.
