In a medium bowl, combine the warm water and maple syrup, then sprinkle in the active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, bread flour, and salt.
Add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough in it, turning once to ensure it's coated. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Once risen, punch down the dough and knead in the chia seeds, flaxseeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds until evenly distributed.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the loaf with a slightly damp cloth and let it rise again for about 30 minutes, or until it has puffed up.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
Once the loaf has risen, make a few slashes on the top with a sharp knife for ventilation and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack completely before slicing. Enjoy your delicious vegan pain aux graines!
