In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey has dissolved, then sprinkle in the active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, bread flour, rolled oats, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and salt.
Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 5-7 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5-inch bread pan, and cover it loosely with plastic wrap. Let it rise again for 30-45 minutes or until it has risen just above the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) during the second rise.
Once the dough has risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
