preparation
1. Melt the butter in a wide saucepan, then add the onion and saffron. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the onion has softened and the saffron has stained it golden, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and give it a stir, then pour in the wine and let it cook away. Add the water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the bay leaf. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook until the rice is done, 15 to 18 minutes. Gently fork apart the grains, then serve.
