Amy Kaspar found that Kernza adds a richness to this tart crust that all-purpose flour simply can't match. This rustic, free-form tart works beautifully in any season — try it with fresh summer berries or thawed frozen ones in winter.

This recipe looks delicious! Do you think you could add instructions for how wide you could roll out the dough? Also, I believe you intended to specify that the dough be half a centimeter thick instead of 5 centimeters. Looking forward to trying this, thanks!
