Equipment

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup medium-grain or long-grain brown rice
  • ⅔ cup water
  • ½ tablespoon salted butter
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place rice in a 5x5-inch baking dish.
  • Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan or kettle, then pour over the rice. Add butter and salt, and stir to combine.
  • Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake on the middle rack for 45 minutes.
  • Remove foil carefully, then fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

Notes

  • Seal Tightly: Cover the dish well with foil to trap steam and cook the rice evenly.
  • Preheat Oven: Make sure the oven is fully heated before baking.
  • Check at 45 Minutes: If the rice looks dry, add a splash of water, cover, and continue baking.
  • Rest Before Serving: Carefully remove the foil (watch for steam) and fluff the rice with a fork.
 
If doubling the recipe, double the ingredient amounts and use a 6.5x6.5-inch baking dish or a 6x8-inch baking dish.
