Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Add finely chopped onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the rinsed rice to the pot, stirring to coat the grains in oil for about 1-2 minutes.

Pour in water and add salt, bay leaves, and pepper; stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.

Cook for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
