Ingredients

• 300 grams whole wheat flour
• 200 grams bread flour
• 100 grams whey protein powder
• 7 grams instant yeast
• 10 grams salt
• 350 milliliters warm water
• 30 milliliters olive oil
• 100 grams walnuts, roughly chopped
• 15 grams honey
• 15 grams vital wheat gluten

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, bread flour, whey protein powder, instant yeast, salt, and vital wheat gluten. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, olive oil, and honey until the honey is dissolved.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly pour in the liquid mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a rough dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped walnuts, kneading only until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Once risen, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently deflate it. Shape the dough into a round loaf.

Step 8

Transfer the shaped loaf onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it with a towel, and let it rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Just before baking, lightly score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife to allow it to expand properly in the oven.

Step 10

Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the bread is a deep golden color and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and cool it on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
