You could have seen this question answered last year in Israel, where
the last day of Passover was immediately followed by Shabbath, without
any intervening time in which to buy or bake bread (it is interesting
to think about what Sefardim would do, if they paskened that soft
matza is like crispy matza; the only two alternatives I can think of
are to arrange for a non-Jew to give you kosher bread on Shabbath, and
to perform qvi`ath s`udah with matza, according to whatever criteria
you have for qvi`ath s`udah).
