I don't even think it's possible to get a crunchy inside due to the certain process of baking bread. The only way I can imagine is toasting slices until it reaches your desired crunch point.
But don't use a toaster, use olive oil and a little salt, roast in the oven or pan and top with some fresh tomatoes or other veggies.
Not exactly what you describe but perhaps adding some seeds and whole grains will give you a different mouthfeel. The crumb itself will still be soft, but biting into more crunchy pieces might be a step up. Toasting will only enhance this.
Make toast?

Just make bruschetta ;)
Great advice. Thanks!!
slice and spread out evenly on a rack or two and low bake until dry. Once dry raise the temp to toast or darken the crumb. - Melba toast -
Ah. That's something I can definitely do. Thank you!!

Another great idea. I think i will stick to toasting the slices for now. Once I get heartily sick of that, I will start adding nuts and seeds :))
