Here, as a change, I make my crostata pastry with wholemeal flour combined with the fine white 00 one - half and half -, which is essential to give softness to the tart.

- Mix the flour and the sugar in a food processor. Add the butter and pulse into a coarse mixture. Incorporate the yolks and the egg and mix into a smooth dough.
- Wrap it in cling film, flatten into a disk and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Butter a 24 cm tart tin with a loose bottom and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of flour. Shake off the excess flour.
- Remove the pastry from the fridge. Put aside one third. On a floured surface, roll out the remaining dough into a round shape, ½ cm thick.
- Line the prepared tin with the dough and press it down firmly into the angles between the base and the side.
- In a bowl stir the lemon juice into the jam and spread it over the dough.
- Roll out the reserved dough into a sort of rectangular shape and cut out several strips about 1 cm wide. Place these strips over the tart to form a lattice pattern, securing at the rim with a little water
- Bake for 30 minutes, until the pastry turns light golden brown.
- Remove from the tin and leave to cool in a wire rack.
