Baked Brown Rice

1½ cups sweet brown rice
2½ cups water
½ tablespoon oil
¾ teaspoon salt

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

In a medium saucepan or tea pot, heat the water until boiling. While the water heats, add the rice and salt to a pyrex loaf pan or an 8-inch square baking dish. Cover the rice with the boiling water, add the oil, and stir briefly. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 70-85 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and serve.
