Cooking the Beans
Add the soaked and drained beans to the pot along with the bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Pour in enough fresh water to cover the beans by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender.

Finishing Touches
