Hi Judy, try preheating the oven and Dutch oven to only 450°F rather than 500°F. The bread will still get a nice jump in the oven, but shouldn't get quite such a hard crust. Be sure to remove the Dutch oven lid after 20 minutes of baking, which also helps prevent the crusts from getting too thick and heavy.
