I am in the process of making cinnamon bread. I have heated the milk and the butter added the yeast only to not have it bloom(old Yeast) I threw out the old mix but as I was doing it question why can't new yeast be added to the newly warmed up milk butter mix? Any one with an answer?

Diana, I do know that yeast can die if it is put in a fluid that is too hot. That is why you want to cool your liquid to warm or just about 100 degrees so that you don't kill the active nature of it. Yeast also blooms better with a bit of sugar so I make sure there is at least 1 teaspoon of the sugar called for in the recipe mixed with my yeast mixture. I hope this helps!

I understand all that I make bread about 3 times a month. I just picked a pack that was out dated by 2.5 years and it didn't bloom. So as I was tossing out the liquid I wonder why couldn't you get the liquid back to temp and just add more fresh yeast.
I would go ahead and try adding fresh yeast to the existing milk. I've done that a few times and it always worked okay. The worst effect was a slightly stronger yeast flavor but nobody noticed except me.
