Preheat oven to 450°F

If you prefer not to, it will not affect the flavor, only the appearance. With a razor blade or sharp knife cut the length of the loaf.
Top with shredded cheese and bake for 20 - 30 minutes or more until hollow sounding when tapped on bottom or internal temperature reaches 180°F - 200°F.
