Orange and flax whole wheat bread

This weekend I needed a quick bread for the sandwiches I packed for a hiking trip. It was very tempting to just buy a store-packed, plastic sandwich bread...and I nearly folded. But creativity won out, and I prepared the following loaf.

Ingredients
1 cup water
0.5 cup orange juice
2 tsp yeast
1 tsp honey
1.5 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
0.25 cup flax seed
2 tbsp orange zest
2 cup all purpose flour
1-1.5 cup whole wheat flour

Preparation
Bloom the yeast with the honey in 0.25 cup warm water. Add in the remaining liquids. Add in most of the flour, keeping 0.5 cup separate.

Grind the flax seeds and add to the bowl together with the orange zest. Mix until it comes together and continue kneading using the remaining flour.

Coat with a little bit of oil and cover in a bowl. Allow to double in size.

Punch down and shape into a loaf. Brush with oil again, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 30 more minutes. Preheat the oven to 350F, and score the loaf right before baking. Bake for about 30 minutes, until golden brown.

It yields a very nice, easy-to-slice loaf. Fill with maple ham, cheddar and your choice of veggies!
