In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and instant yeast.
In a separate bowl, mix the water, honey, and olive oil until the honey is fully dissolved.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the liquid mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a rough dough begins to form.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
After the first rise, punch down the dough to release any air. Add sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds, and poppy seeds into the dough.
Knead the dough gently on a floured surface until the seeds are evenly distributed.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.
Cover again with a damp cloth and allow to rise for an additional 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
Bake the bread on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes, or until it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom and has a deep golden crust.
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.
Once cooled, slice and enjoy your low sodium Pain aux Graines.
