In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and add the honey. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix well.
Add the yeast mixture and low-fat yogurt to the dry ingredients. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for approximately 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed through the dough.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220Β°C (428Β°F).
Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Cover the loaf with a cloth and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
Once rested, using a sharp knife, make a few shallow slashes on the top of the loaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
