Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil with the bay leaves. Add the salt.
• Add the rice, stir to make sure the rice doesn't stick. Do not stir again. If the rice is agitated too much, it gets sticky. Give it a good stir when it comes back to a boil, and partially cover.
• Cook for about 11 minutes, test it. It should have a bite, but crunch is bad. When it's tender, drain it, remove the bay leaves, and if desired, place it into a 400 degree oven with the butter patted on top for about 15 minutes; this helps dry the rice out.
