I spent a long time trying to find ESP resources too, I can't help you breadboard it, but this is what I use for my ESP-01Ss:

You'll see in the reviews of that item that you need to add a push button to it (literally 2 solder points, and there are pictures)
Something like this would work, you might be able to find cheaper:

Once you have the development board with the push button on it, you put in the ESP-01S, hold down the button while you insert the usb to your PC, then run whatever software you want to write to the esp.
Hope this helps!
I use one of these as an ESP-01 programmer. Strangely, there is no button on GPIO0 so I had to solder one on--see the pictures in the reviews to see which pins. Simply stick ESP-01 in, hold down the button, plug it in to USB and hit upload. Also watch orientation, I had the ESP-01 backwards first and it got toasty real fast but luckily wasn't damaged.
