In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add honey and olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Add the beaten egg to the dough and continue mixing until the egg is fully incorporated.
Fold in the granola, mixing well to ensure it's evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles and transfer it to a greased 9-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a damp cloth and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the granola bread on its own, with butter, or your favorite spread.
