["For the dough:", "Measure flour into a small bowl and set it aside. This will help make sure you don't add too much which would give you a stiff dough.", "Mix the warm water, the first amount of sugar and yeast together in a small bowl and let it sit for five minutes to bloom the yeast.", "In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook (see notes for how to make this without a mixer), add the buttermilk, eggs, second amount of sugar and salt. Mix in 11/2 cups of the flour and the yeast mixture. As the dough hook brings the flour and liquids together, add the melted butter. You may have to scrape the sides down so that the flour blends in.", "When you have a sticky, uniform looking mixture, start added the rest of the flour 1/4 cup at at time. This will take a few minutes. When you have about 1/4 cup of flour left in the bowl, slow the mixer down to minimum and just sprinkle the flour in until you get a ball that can be turned out on a floured counter or board without it being a sticky mess.", "With the dough on the floured surface, sprinkle more flour on the dough and knead the dough for two or three minutes. You will use almost all the flour but you may need a bit more or less, depending on the size of your eggs, or humidity in your home. The dough is ready to be placed in a greased bowl when it springs back and isn't sticky when kneaded.", "Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and place in a warm, place for 11/2 hours to rise.", "When the dough has doubled in size and when you poke your figure in the centre of the dough and the hole stays, it is ready to be punched down and rolled out.", "Just before you roll it out, prepare the filling by melting the butter in a small bowl in the microwave and mixing together the brown sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. Set that aside.", "For the topping: Melt the butter in a small pot on the stove over low heat. Whisk in the brown sugar, maple syrup and whipping cream with the butter as it melts. Heat the ingredients until butter is just melted and the mixture is uniform with no oily parts of unincorporated melted butter. Try not to let it bubble as this will contribute to the topping hardening later. Pour the mixture into a 9\" x 12\"" cake pan or two 9-inch round cake pans. Set the pan or pans aside.""
