In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and vital wheat gluten.
Add instant yeast and salt to the dry ingredients and mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, and warm water until honey is fully dissolved.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix to form a shaggy dough.
Add in the chopped walnuts and mix until incorporated into the dough.
Add the eggs and powdered milk to the dough and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. You can knead by hand or use a stand mixer with a dough hook.
Lightly oil a bowl, place the dough in it, and cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap. 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 down the dough to release the gas and shape it into a loaf.
Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan and let it rise for another 20-30 minutes.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your high protein walnut bread as a healthy snack or breakfast option.
