Add the flours, measured oil, and salt and mix on low speed until the dough just starts to come together and looks shaggy, about 2 minutes.Increase the speed to medium and continue to mix until the dough is elastic and smooth, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, coat a large bowl with a thin layer of oil and set it aside.When the dough is ready, form it into a ball, place in the oiled bowl, and turn to coat with the oil. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rest in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. (Alternatively, let the dough rise in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days.)Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly oiled work surface.
