Hi Corni, as far as when to add fruits and nuts, there are many paths that lead to the same destination! It is up to the recipe designer as to when to add them depending on the particulars of that recipe. If the add-ins would compete for liquids, for example, they may be held back until the yeast has time to do its job and the formation of gluten has had an opportunity to get a head start. I don't see any reason why you couldn't try the tangzhong method with this recipe. Take a look at our blog, How To Convert A Bread Recipe to Tangzhong for detailed instructions.
