I include malt powders as they are often an ingredient in flour anyway. Vital Wheat Gluten counts towards flour. Any ground grain that won't be used in a soaker I usually count towards the total flour. It's mostly a reference point per the formula for me. I'm sure there is rule out there somewhere.
I use a spreadsheet that has a drop down box that allows for selection of ingredients in certain lines of the sheet. I have assigned two lists for the lines. One includes all the flours that I currently use or have in the past. They count toward total flour while the other list contains ingredients that I thought shouldn't count. I think in need to move the malt powders to the list that count for the reason you mention. That's what I was thinking hen I made the post.I haven't been counting cracked wheat or other grains either. I have them grouped with nuts but may rethink that too.
