In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, bread flour, rolled oats, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, and salt.
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the honey and olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a rough dough.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air and transfer it back to the floured surface.
Shape the dough into a loaf by flattening it into a rectangle and rolling it tightly. Pinch the seam to seal.
Place the loaf seam-side down into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the pan with a damp cloth and let the loaf rise again for about 30-45 minutes, until it has risen above the edges of the pan.
Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom and has a golden-brown crust.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread once it is completely cooled. Store leftover bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
