Well I have had the same problem with plastic bags on other types of bread.
I do not know if you let the bread cool FULLY. Plus, even when you do that,
I do not recommend plastic bags because they can make the crust go soft. I
recommend you try to get paper bags/ greaseproof paper bags like prof
bakers use. Works for me (living in the Netherlands with no airco).
Success! Greetings
