Default Spelt, buckwheat, gluten flour

Thanks for the tip, Claire.
As for measurements, I used 2 Tbsps each of spelt, buckwheat and gluten.
As for salt and water, I just guessed at that.

Here's another wrinkle to the story:

I had good blood sugar results on the first two times I tried this recipe
yesterday. On the third time, I got a spike. Each meal was separated by at
least two hours. The first two meals of this flatbread gave me no rise at 1
hour and 90 minutes. The third meal later in the evening gave me a spike.
At one hour pp on the 3rd meal, I had a 153. The previous readings were
around 107 to 110.

I'm guessing that either the protein in the recipes or the delayed digestion
of the flours had a cumulative effect which hit me in the evening, a time my
blood sugar rises anyway.
