In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water-honey mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and salt to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Drizzle in the olive oil and mix thoroughly to form a shaggy dough.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding small amounts of flour if the dough is too sticky.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough in the prepared pan.
Brush the top of the dough with a little water and sprinkle with the additional rolled oats for topping.
Cover the loaf pan loosely with a towel and let the dough rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until it reaches the top of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
