I do this as much as possible. The sepharadi shuls here are makpid to 
only serve water challah. When I do say hamotzi on sweet challah, it's 
because I know I usually eat a lot of challah anyway, so I'll probably 
eat the necessary shiur to say hamotzi regardless.

ROY is specific that one cannot include other foods to make this shiur, 
but one Sepharadi rav here follows RMF in this regard, as he says that 
you can combine other foods to make the necessary shiur.
