In a small bowl, combine 100 milliliters of the warm water with the active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Add the yeast mixture and the remaining 250 milliliters of warm water to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
Add the olive oil and knead the mixture by hand or with a dough hook on a stand mixer for about 10 minutes until soft and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
Gently incorporate the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and flaxseeds into the dough until evenly distributed.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and knead it for another minute to remove excess air.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Sprinkle the rolled oats on top of the dough, pressing them slightly so they adhere.
Cover the loaf pan with the cloth and let the dough rest again for about 30 minutes, allowing it to rise slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top 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 about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
