In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, salt, and instant dry yeast. Stir to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
Add the dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and golden flaxseeds into the flour mixture and stir until well distributed.
In a separate bowl, mix together the warm water, honey, and olive oil until the honey is dissolved.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or hands until a rough dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough around to coat it with oil, and cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220Β°C (430Β°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles and shape it into a loaf.
Place the shaped dough onto the prepared baking tray and let it rest for another 20 minutes to rise slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your homemade nut-free muesli bread!
