1. Dissolve yeast in water with 1/2 C. Sugar.
2. Mix in salt, egg, oil and flour. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 3-5 min.). Dough should be slighty sticky.

4. Mix cinnamon and 1/4 C. Sugar together. Punch down and roll out to 15x10 rectangle. Spread butter on top then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Sprinkle with raisins.
5. Roll up dough long edge to long edge. Cut into 12 equal slices about 1" thick (or 24 slices for smaller rolls). Place on greased jellyroll size baking sheet. Cover with cloth and let rise until rolls double (about 25 min.).
6. Bake for 15-18 minutes at 400ยบ until tops are golden brown.
7. Let cool in pan on top of a cooling rack. Cover with cloth until cool, then frost cinnamon rolls.
