Leah, when I use mine and after the bread cools the crust gets too hard for me. Now that I oven bake everythings fine.

Leah, i

f you cover them with a towel after taking them out of the machine and then use a big baggie to store them, the crust doesn't get that hard.

Can you turn the crust setting to light? You can change the crust control on mine, light, medium, dark, I usually use the light, and it is fine. I take it out as soon as it is ready.

Lightly brushing the crust with butter after you turn the loaf onto the wire rack to cool will also help soften the crust.
