Oven-Braised Brisket
Good news for anyone who wants to get a head start on cooking: This brisket tastes even better when prepped the night before, since you can cut clean, delicately thin slices of meat. The dish gets warmed up via reheated vegetables and an irresistible tangy-sweet sauce.

Challah
If you have always wanted to bake your own loaf, but never knew where to start — we’ve got you. This recipe has been tested (and tested again!) for success, so you can trust it will work in your kitchen.

P.S. Bake an extra loaf of this eggy, slightly sweet bread. Leftovers make the best French Toast.

Sufganiyot
These deep-fried jelly donuts are a staple this time of year and while you can grab some from the bakery, making your own just feels so much more impressive. Plus, they taste 10 times better when eaten while still warm.

Shortcut Mini Sufganiyot
Not into making a yeasted dough from scratch? This recipe skips that whole process (including frying!) but still gives off a homemade vibe. The secret: pipe jam into store-bought glazed donut holes, then shower with confectioners’ sugar right before serving.
