In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, whey protein powder, chia seeds, instant yeast, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate small bowl, combine the warm water, honey, olive oil, and egg. Beat the mixture lightly with a fork until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, to make it easier to work with.
Once kneaded, form the dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl, turning it once to coat the dough with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles and transfer it to a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Smooth the top of the dough and cover it with the cloth again, allowing it to rise for an additional 30 minutes until it has risen slightly above the rim of the pan.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
