Combine flours in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Add milk, honey, and melted butter to the yeast mixture.

Mix the wet ingredients into the flour until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a cloth; let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and divide into three equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a rope about 12 inches long.

Braid the three ropes together and tuck the ends under.

Place the braided dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Brush the loaf with beaten egg and sprinkle with seeds and oats.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
