Default Munich Dunkel Recipe wanted

I'm looking for an AG Munich Dunkel recipe that is low in bitterness and has lots of caramel flavors. Does anyone have one they could share?

A dunkel is traditionally 100% dark munich malt and any noble hops to bitter (little to no flavour or aroma). Use a german lager yeast of your choice and go to town. Try out a decoction mash if you like for even more traditional flavour.
