Fluffy Baked Brown Rice

I'm notorious for ruining rice, so I usually stay away from it -- until I found this recipe. It's Alton Brown's recipe for perfect brown rice, and it's great! I've made it many times and it really does turn out perfectly every time. You can use either medium or short grained rice.

• Ready In: 1 hr 5 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups brown rice
• 2 1⁄2 cups water
• 1  tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1  teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Place the rice into an 8-inch square glass baking dish.
3. Bring the water, butter, and salt just to a boil in a kettle or covered saucepan. Once the water boils, pour it over the rice, stir to combine, and cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour.
4. After 1 hour, remove cover and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately.
