Hi, Margaret! In this post, the recommended additional 2 tablespoons (or 1 ounce) of water increases the hydration of the Classic 100% Whole Wheat Bread recipe to 72% and the water content of the honey called for (the water content of honey can range from 10% and 20%) gets the hydration of the dough to be 75%. So when integrating tangzhong into your whole wheat bread recipes you will still want to increase the hydration of your dough to 75%. At this time we don't have any videos of the tangzhong process, but we do have videos that feature dough kneading techniques which could also be used to illustrate the proper consistency of a dough. Happy baking! Morgan@KAF
