In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole-grain bread flour and instant dry yeast.
Gradually add the lukewarm water, olive oil, and honey to the dry mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Add the salt, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds to the dough and mix until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Gently deflate the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small roll by gently rolling and tucking the edges underneath.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, cover them with a kitchen towel, and let them rise again for about 20 minutes.
Once the rolls have risen, make a few shallow slashes on top of each with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Transfer the rolls to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
