Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
Combine rice and onion mixture in a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Place the casserole on a baking sheet. Stir mixture thoroughly to coat the rice.
Combine stock, salt, saffron, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour stock mixture over rice in the casserole dish; stir to combine. Spread mixture evenly in the pan. Cover tightly with heavy-duty tin foil.
Bake for 35 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to rest, still covered, for 10 minutes. Remove foil and fluff with a fork to separate the rice.
