In a small bowl, combine warm water, honey, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy to activate the yeast.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, and chia seeds. Mix well to distribute the seeds evenly.
Add the olive oil and activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour (1 tablespoon at a time) as needed.
Grease a large bowl with a bit of olive oil and place the dough inside. Cover it with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough in a lightly greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Optionally, sprinkle the top of the loaf with oats and lightly press them into the dough.
Cover the pan with a damp towel and let the dough rise again for 30-40 minutes, until it has risen slightly over the edge of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has finished its second rise, place the loaf in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
