In a bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.

Stir until a dough forms. Lightly flour your hands and knead the dough for about 5 to 7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.

Cut the dough into strips, about 1 inch wide and 5 inches long, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the strips, followed by a dusting of garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes, if using.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Let cool slightly before serving.
