Prepare the Preferment: Combine Bread Flour, Water, and Instant Dry Yeast in a small bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 12-18 hours.
Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine Bread Flour, Whole Milk, Honey, Salt, Olive Oil, and the prepared Preferment. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a cool place (refrigerator) for 24-48 hours for optimal flavor development.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Remove dough from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a 6-8 inch long rope.
Place the breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Prepare the Browned Butter Topping: Melt the Butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Be careful not to burn it.
Remove from heat and stir in the minced Garlic, chopped Parsley, chopped Rosemary, and Sea Salt.
Brush the warm breadsticks with the Browned Butter Topping immediately after removing them from the oven.
