As it happens, I actually *am* trying to convert a brioche recipe to use tangzhong! Is this necessary/a good idea? The recipes I'm looking at seem to have lower hydration than listed here - the KAF recipe is about 58% and a recipe from another site I'm looking at is about 50%, if all my calculations are right. is 75% still a good target hydration for the recipe, or should it be lower since the original hydration is lower?
