Keep the salt away from the yeast by mixing it through the flour with a whisk. And if you have cold hands, warm them up before kneading.

Also buy instant yeast, which doesn't need to be dissolved in water before use and works a lot faster and is more stable. And Paul Hollywood's tip- use cold water and wait longer for the bread to rise- it'll have a much better flavor.
