In a bowl or mixer, place the flour, cold butter in pieces, eggs, yeast, and a pinch of salt. Quickly knead until you obtain a homogeneous and compact mixture, without warming it up too much. Divide the dough into two parts: a larger one (about 3/4) and a smaller one (1/4). Roll out the larger part with a rolling pin
place it in a 28 cm pan, previously buttered or lined with parchment paper. Poke the bottom well with a fork
Prepare the filling: In a bowl, place the ricotta and eggs. Add salt, pepper, and mix until a smooth cream is obtained. Add the chopped mortadella and mix well.
Pour the filling onto the pastry base and level with a spatula. Roll out the remaining dough and cut strips. Arrange them over the filling, creating the classic crisscrossed lattice of the tart.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 50 minutes, until the surface is golden and the pastry is well-cooked.
