That miche looks great!

What temp did you bake it at, and for how long?

Do you use a stone above the loaf?

Thanks!  I baked it on a stone...  I preheated the oven to 550F for about 45 minutes.  Placed the loaf directly on the stone, placed 2 cups of water a steam pan, sprayed the insides of the oven wall.  Baked for 40 minutes at 450F, rotated the loaf and another 1hr at 425F until I got an internal temperature of 205F.
