In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, whey protein isolate, and salt. Stir the mixture until evenly mixed.
In a separate small bowl, combine warm water and honey, then sprinkle the instant yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to deflate. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a roll.
Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, keeping them about 1 inch apart. Cover with a cloth and let them rise again for about 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush the tops of the rolls with it. Sprinkle rolled oats over the top for decoration.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
