Are we talking about mixing the salt in when proofing the yeast, or are you dealing with 'instant yeast' which gets mixed in later with the flour? – Joe Jan 09 '19 at 13:14

"Salt is a hunter" ... wonderful indie rock band name or novel title! – rackandboneman Jan 10 '19 at 02:04

Yes. Salt definitely will kill yeast in direct contact. Salt is a 'control' for yeast. For instance, if you are working in a professional bakery and you need your doughs to move faster, you can cut back a bit on your salt content...
If you take fresh yeast in the palm of your hand, add a pinch of salt. Massage that salt in, and the yeast will liquefy within seconds (and will definitely be dead).
Don't mix them together!
