1. In a small bowl, mix the warm water, dry yeast, and honey. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy and activated.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, whey protein isolate, and salt.
3. Grind the dried hops using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle until fine. Add the ground hops to the flour mixture and stir well.
4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.
5. Using a wooden spoon, mix until the dough begins to come together.
6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
7. Grease a large bowl with olive oil, place the dough in it, and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
8. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
9. Punch down the dough to release the air, then shape it into a loaf. Place the dough in a greased loaf pan.
10. Cover the loaf pan with a damp cloth and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
12. Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
