Put the yeast in the hot tap water to activate it. Leave it for about 5 or 10 minutes. In the meantime, mix up the dry ingredients. When the yeast is ready, add the olive oil and the yeastwater to the dry ingredients, and then add flour by the handful until the dough is kneadable. Knead 50 times, and then let raise for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Roll it out, or spin it in the air if you dare.At this point, you can use it as a pizza dough, calzone dough, or just cook it in the oven and you have a flatbread. One thing I have found is that it's a good idea to turn your oven all the way up, as high as it it goes for this. Mine is usually at 550 or so.
