Seth, my challah recipe typically uses 2 c water, 3 eggs, 1/2 margarine, and about 6.5 c flour. Calculating the hydration including the eggs etc makes it 81%. It always comes out very soft and tender, and adding the tangzhong method enhances the softness. I think you'll love it! I won't make it without this little extra step!
