Notes

Recipe Tips

For best results, use a baking dish with a tight-fitting lid to keep the steam inside while the rice cooks. Do not remove the lid during baking or the rice will not cook properly. Once the rice is finished, let it sit covered for 10 minutes to allow it to absorb any remaining water and fluff it with a fork before serving. This recipe can easily be doubled or halved to accommodate different serving sizes. Enjoy your perfectly cooked brown rice!
