Meanwhile preheat your oven to 400ºF.

- Remove breadsticks from oven and brush with remaining melted butter mixture. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
The warm water should be just a tad warmer than your body temperature, about 105ºF.
A perfect place to let these breadsticks rise is right next to your oven.
