Parchment Sticks

So my parchment is so stuck to the bottom of my loaf that I will have to completely cut off the bottom to make it edible. I baked it in a Dutch oven.

Have you had that problem? Can I spray it? Or butter it? Will that help? 

Thoughts?

To the bottom of my bread and it is Very Annoying! I stopped using parchment and started oiling and flouring my clay baker instead, which works way better.

If I had to use parchment to lower dough into a hot Dutch oven I would oil and flour the parchment before putting the bread on it.
