Notes
You can use 1 tsp of instant yeast instead of active dry yeast.
If the yeast is not active don't proceed further. There can be few reasons for yeast to be inactive. Yeast is very old and reaching expiry date. Quality of yeast is not good. If you add yeast to very hot water it will kill the yeast. Proofing of yeast is very important for any bread recipes.
You can add some cheese on the top of bread sticks
You can bake for little longer if you want more crispier bread sticks
