Quick! Sub for corn meal on baking stone?

I have two small round loaves rising right now, and I just realized I'm
out of cornmeal. I want to bake these on the stone in my oven, but what
can I put under them to keep them from sticking? Am I wrong that flour
will burn?

This may or may not work, but when I made almond flour cake, I had the
impression that if it had had no sweetener or flavors added, it would have
duplicated corn bread. The textures are very similar. Almond flour?

I've only got a few packets of instant, and I'm saving those for when
I'm very sick, but I do have oats, which Wayne suggested, so I'll use
them.

I'm not sure about that. Something about the idea of oils in it makes
me leery of it. But I do have oats, so I'm using that.

Nothing at all works just fine. I've never had bread stick to the stone.

If I'm making a wet dough that would stick to the peel, then I will put
the bread on a sheet of parchment paper. Slide bread paper and all onto
the stone and bake. Paper turns a dark brown and gets brittle but
doesn't burn, smoke or catch fire.

Flour is fine. I made pizza last night and used it instead
of cornmeal.

Thanks to all the useful information from so many!

The oats worked very well, and I'm about to have a slice off the end of
one of the two loaves with a nice slather of butter. :-)

Put them on parchment paper.
Or, if you have any semolina, that would do.
Chances are if your stone is really, really hot, they will not stick at all.
