I think I killed my hot cross buns!
I goofed again! I'm really having a bad week. In putting together the dough tonight for my hot cross buns, I picked up the pot (quite proud of myself) to move it to another counter, only to see behind it the two packets of yeast that I completely forgot to put in. I quickly uncovered the pot and mixed in the yeast with my hands to get it as incorporated as possible, but I just don't know. Is the dough hopeless, or will it be okay? Is there anything else I should do?

When you raise the dough, it will be clear whether or not your last minute addition worked. Good luck!

rise from the dead!

You have to bloom the yeast. Start over.

I have per-cooked a bread dough by accident before. My bread dough was rising in the oven, but I forgot that there was a dough inside and pre-heated the oven.
By the time I realized it the dough was too warm for the yeast, so I let it cool a bit and knead in more dry yeast, did the second rise and baked it. I was surprised when the bread came out fine.
Nowadays most yeast packages don't really require proofing. It is to make sure if your yeast is alive or not; of course proofing makes yeast happier, but not absolutely necessary for most applications.
