Either you're trolling (2/10, responded) or you're confused as to what a preferment is. A preferment is not a starter. A starter is a natural yeast culture used for leavening with better flavor. A preferment is a dough made (usually with starter) and let to slowly ferment (yeast activity) in order to improve flavor. Many sourdough recipes call for starter direct to dough and rely on the starter to add flavor in the prove called the "bulk ferment." See also:
