In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, white bread flour, linseeds, yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl or measuring jug, mix the warm water with the olive oil and honey, stirring until the honey dissolves.
Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands, until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough into a greased loaf pan or shape it into a free-form round or oval on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the dough again and let it rest for another 30 minutes while preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Bake the bread for about 30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
