Hi there, Alex! We'd recommend keeping the amount of discard you add to a recipe at or under 50% of the amount of flour in a recipe. We worry that it'll start to impact the structure of the baked good. Typically for a naturally leavened bread, you want the amount of starter to be about 1/3 of the flour weight. We hope this can help and happy baking!
