When I make a loaf of bread, I lay a piece of waxed paper on the counter and flour that. Most of the flour stays on the paper or goes in the bread. When I put the bread in the pan, I cut a piece of the waxed paper from the piece I use and spray or brush the bottom, then use it to cover the loaf to rise. Not only getting maximum use of the paper, but It protects the crust and It doesn't disappear.
