Steps
- 1Position the oven rack in the center and preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine water, olive oil, salt, and bay leaves. Wait for the mixture to come to a boil. Add the rice and bring it back to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, cover the pan, and cook until the rice is al dente and has absorbed all the liquid; this should take around 15 minutes. If there is any excess water in the pan once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and allow it to sit covered for a minute or two until all liquid is absorbed.
