Start with lukewarm water in a bowl; add yeast and honey, mix, and let it stand for about 5 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups bread flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Add 3/4 cup sunflower seeds and 1/2 cup oats to the dry ingredients; mix well.

Slowly add the yeast mixture and 30 ml melted butter; stir to combine until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until it is soft, elastic, and smooth, about 10 minutes.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

Shape the risen dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan; cover and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

Before baking, drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey on top and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of oats and sunflower seeds.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 40 to 50 minutes until golden brown.
