Hi there, Katie! Adding a tangzhong starter to your bread shouldn't make for a bland result. You can try replacing either some or all of the water in the recipe with milk and increasing the salt a but will help too, try 1 1/2 to 1 13/4 teaspoons. We'd recommend starting out with these adjustments to see if it gets you closer to what you're looking for and if not, then move on to adjusting the honey and eggs. We hope this helps and happy baking!
