Method

Soak the beans in plenty of cold water overnight, then drain and rinse.
Cover the beans with fresh water, add the bay leaves, and simmer until just tender, about 45–60 minutes. Drain, reserving some cooking liquid.
Thinly slice the onions and slowly fry them in the oil until soft and golden, about 25 minutes.
Stir in the paprika, salt, and pepper and cook for 1 minute.
In a baking dish, layer the beans and onion mixture, finishing with onions, and add enough reserved liquid to barely cover.
Bake uncovered at 180°C for about 1 hour 30 minutes, until the top is browned and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Rest for 15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
