Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of honey in the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.

Combine Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a rough dough forms.

Knead Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.

First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape and Second Rise: Punch down the dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake: Optional: Brush the top with a little olive oil and sprinkle with sunflower seeds or rolled oats. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom and has a golden-brown crust.

Cool: Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before slicing.
