A "ferment" is normally the initial part of a bread recipe were you mix a small quantity of the flour, yeast and water together (normally it will be a liquidy mixture rather than a dough) and leave if for a given length of time, before adding all the other ingredients. It is sometimes called a "pre-ferment". If a "ferment/pre-ferment" is necessary for a given recipe, it will give detailed instructions on how to make it, since not all ferments are the same.
Using a pre-ferment/ferment improves the taste of the final bread and is also helpful in leavening doughs with a high proportion of fat in the final mixture.
