I have had the same experience with no-knead bread, and I read 
somewhere that, at the end of baking, you should remove it  from the 
Dutch oven, set it on the oven rack, turn off the oven, leaving the 
door cracked slightly and allow it to cool gradually in the warm
oven. I tried that, along with extending the baking time by 5 minutes 
and it seemed to work. I also read many cautions about slicing the 
bread too soon. It must be thoroughly cool.
