Irish Brown Bread

This is my first experience baking Irish Brown Bread or for using Irish-Style Whole-Meal Flour. This wet, cool day in Maryland seemed like a great day to bake so I tried this new bread recipe (recipehttp://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/irish-brown-bread-recipe)
The dough was very wet, almost like a muffin batter, so it was difficult to knead but it turned out well. It would be a great bread with stew or soup on a winter day. Its been awhile since I've had fish so I had a slice with a can of sardines; been wanting to eat sardines for awhile (40% of recommended daily calcium amount!). A delicious, hearty bread!
Note the "cross" the recipe called for cutting across the bread.

Despite having to add more flour than I expected (due to wetness) to knead the bread was moist and not too dense.
