In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rye flour, rolled oats, instant yeast, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chopped walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds.
In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, olive oil, and honey until the honey is dissolved.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and gently knead in the softened unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into a greased loaf pan. Cover again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Bake the bread for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
