Personally I love the crunchy crust but if you put it in a paper bag the steam should soften the crust. I find that the crunchiness disappears fairly quickly anyhow!
Good luck.

Perhaps you could try taking it out of the oven a bit earlier next time. We have a breadmaker that makes really tasty bread. Lovely!
