In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, bread flour, rolled oats, muesli mix, brown sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, skim milk, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.
Mix the dough with a wooden spoon until it starts to come together, then add the sunflower seeds.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf with a cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 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 in the pan for 10 minutes. Then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
