Add the warm water, honey, and olive oil to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the salt over the liquid ingredients to distribute it evenly.
Add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sunflower seeds, and ground flaxseed to the pan. Ensure the ingredients are spread evenly.
Sprinkle the vital wheat gluten over the top of the dry ingredients.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the instant yeast. Be careful to keep the yeast from contacting the liquid too soon.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and select the 'Whole Wheat' or 'Multi-Grain' setting, depending on your machine. Choose a 1.5 lb loaf size and your desired crust color (light, medium, or dark).
Start the bread machine. Allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread according to the machine's program.
When the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
