Not my best bread ever but this is pretty normal issue. I totally over proofed it because I fell asleep during the proof xD

Oh that makes some sense. I never thought about how the high humidity stops the crust from drying out but it makes sense. Ohh that's probably why people who bake in dutch ovens have to open the pot towards the end of the bake. So the crust can dry out and harden!
