How to breed Pokemon for their Hidden Abilities

I want to legitimately breed a competitive team, but I don't know how to breed for hidden abilities unless I just breed two Pokemon who have their normal ability(s) together until I breed one with a hidden ability. Does someone know a useful trick or item I could use?

Breeding two pokemon with normal abilities will never result in a pokemon with a hidden ability.

To breed a pokemon with a hidden ability, the female pokemon (or a male/genderless pokemon being bred with a ditto) must have its hidden ability. It will have a 60% chance of passing on the hidden ability.

This does, unfortunately, mean you'll need to catch or trade for a pokemon of the right species with the hidden ability to begin with.
