In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and maple syrup, then sprinkle in the instant yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the olive oil, salt, and whole wheat flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a rough dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-6 minutes.
Gradually knead in the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
After the initial rise, punch down the dough and reshape it into a loaf. Place it in a lightly greased 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan.
Cover the pan loosely and let the dough rise again for about 30-40 minutes until it has risen slightly above the edge of the pan.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). If desired, sprinkle oats or additional seeds on top of the loaf for extra texture and presentation.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
