In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, milk, honey, and olive oil. Stir to dissolve the honey.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the liquid mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a separate bowl, mix together the bread flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and salt.
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture a little at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon (or using a stand mixer with a dough hook) until the dough starts to come together.
Stir in the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, and chia seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If using a stand mixer, knead for 5-6 minutes on medium speed.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat all sides with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch bread pan.
Cover the pan loosely with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen slightly above the edge of the pan.
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
