i feel badly about your bread! I am going to expirament today. befroe that this is what I think may have happended: You need more sugar not just the maple syrup, I should have bben more careful here. and since you said it was too moist I would put in less water (buttermilk). did it seem too dese? if so add more salt.
I think I am going to try to alter my recipe to sute the taste you were talking aobut ....
take care I'll get back to you, have to work this a.m.
