In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, instant yeast, salt, and whey protein powder.
In a separate small bowl, mix together warm water, honey, and olive oil.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the wet mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and lightly brush the tops of the rolls.
Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over each roll.
Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (400Β°F).
Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow rolls to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your high-protein treat!
