From:

| There are a couple of ways to keep bread on the hook, 1st pinch the
| piece of bread at the top end of the hook and leave the bottom as
| flake. Or use a piece with crust and hook the crust side, your hook
| should be around size 16 above hope this helps.

When I was a kid, we just used dough balls.
