In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, olive oil, and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves completely.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the liquid mixture. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Add the whole wheat flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough gently and divide it into 16 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a thin stick about 12 inches long.
Beat the egg white in a small bowl until frothy. Lightly brush each breadstick with the egg white.
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the breadsticks, pressing lightly so they stick.
Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are well-spaced.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
