Used my baking steel for the first time today.  I made flammekuchen for lunch.  One thing I did learn is that if you want a crispy crust, don't bake it on foil.  I didn't have corn meal so used that.  We had the first two pieces and it became immediately apparent that i should have removed the foil perhaps a minute into baking once the dough had set so,i put the other two pieces went back in on the steel.All in all, I was happy with it.

Ditto the parchment suggestion.  You can pull it out from under the dough after a few seconds or leave it. I find it especially handy when I want to place multiple pieces of flatbread, etc. on the steel
