Caramel Cinnamon Rolls

With this recipe I use the dough setting on my bread machine. It’s way easy—just add the ingredients in the order listed and it does all the work! If you don't have a bread machine, mix the water and yeast together and let it dissolve. Then add the remaining ingredients and let it rise for about an hour or until doubled. The thing that makes this recipe really good is the caramel on the bottom of the pan. You really could use any cinnamon roll recipe and then add the caramel to the bottom. For frosting I usually just cheat and buy whatever cream cheese frosting is on sale!
