Poolish and bread machine?

Are there any rules or concerns about using a poolish in a bread machine? I thought of starting one, adding it to the liquid in a bread machine (to make the dough.... I want to bake it in the oven later).

Thanks

I ended up fermenting the poolish right in the machine's bucket.

cheers,

Interesting idea about using it for the poolish. I mixed it with the water. I also tinkered with the recipe, trying to guess what might work. Result was mediocre, but I will still experiment.
