The bread crust doesn't last more than a few days? DON'T MAKE SO MUCH BREAD AT A TIME! The day after it's made it's already stale, though maybe still soft enough to chew. For sure, after the second day it's good for croutons or bread crumbs. Make it fresh every day, or make enough dough for three days but only make and bake a loaf a day. The dough may be a little sour by he third day, but that's just another layer of flavor.
