Default Dough not rising...why?

Im making cinnamin rolls. These need to set and rise.
Im have been having problems in last several batches getting them to rise.

Im using fresh yeast and I put them in warm 95F degree oven (lowest it will
go and recipe says set in 85)F.

Do you have any clues for me to try to see if I can get a new batch to
raise?

Thank you for any tips!

You are running very close to the temperature that kills yeast.

I set my oven to warm for 5 minutes, turn it off and then put the dough
in to rise. Otherwise the oven gets too hot. The oven will stay warm for
several hours as long as I don't open the door again.

An alternative is to put a container of boiling water in a cooler or
microwave, and put the dough in with that to rise. Do not turn the
microwave on while the dough is in there.

I found that if I put the light on in the oven, that will warm up the
oven enough,to rise the dough

yea...I think thats ourproblem. When I set the oven to warm, the elements
are on or off and it get to 170 for a few minutes before it settles down to
95 so it mush have killed the yeast. Just using light bulb is good idea.
We tried it again by not turning on oven and it worked fine this time.
thanks again
