I can't wait to try this. I have baked bread a few times, with and without a bread machine. I found out by accident years ago that if you put the bread in a plastic bag while it is still quite warm, it will have a soft crust. If you want a crispier crust, just let the bread cool completely out of the pan and uncovered, or if you like somewhere in between, cover the loaf with a towel after it comes out of the pan.
