Where to get brioche? Or a sub?

Tyler Florence is making individual Apple Charlottes with Cinnamon Sabayon. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/apple-charlotte-with-cinnamon-sabayon-recipe/index.html

I want to try it, but don't have any idea where I can find brioche.

What would be a good, common substitute?

I've found it from time to time in good bakeries. I imagine you have a few in the Boston area Lee. I don't think you will find it though in your local grocery store's bakery but perhaps. I'm sure though that other breads could be used in place of it. Here is a link to what it looks like as well as ingredient list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brioche

I only see it here around Christmas.

What about using challah as a substitute?

[joec]

Probably work good and after watching it today on TV perhaps even a good fluffy dinner roll might work as well.

Challah....

challah is a pareve version of brioche. Substitute butter for the oil and you have a lovely brioche dough. I will pm a good recipe if you want it. I cannot post it for copyright reasons--I haven't had time to put the directions in my own words.

Okay, challah it is. I'm pretty sure I can find that. Thanks, everyone.

Susan, yes, please PM me with the brioche dough recipe. I'm am terrified of yeast (and it senses my fear, so it mishehaves) but I may try it, if it's simple to do.
