    | 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. | 2. In a 1 to 1-1/2 quart baking pan, stir together the water, salt, pepper and polenta. | 3. Add the pieces of butter. | 4. Place the container, uncovered, in the center of the top rack of the oven and bake for 40 minutes. | 5. Open the oven, pull out the rack and stir the polenta (this is also the time to add any additional ingredients such as cheese). | 6. Close the oven and bake the polenta for an additional 10 minutes. | 7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. | 8. At this point you can either prepare it for frying or serve immediately; if you want to fry it, then you should form it in a pan and refrigerate for several hours. | 9. It's great straight out of the oven with marinara sauce on it. | 10. Good additions are Monterey Jack cheese, parmesan, jalapenos, or even pine nuts. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
