Preheat oven to 350F In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, 5 tablespoons sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Add the water and ½ cup olive oil and stir together with a rubber spatula until uniform.
Press dough into a 9 inch round tart pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown.
Meanwhile make the filling. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour and ¼ teaspoon salt. Add eggs and yolks and whisk smooth. Add lemon juice and zest. Cook 5-8 minutes to 160 degrees or until small bubbles form. Remove from heat and slowly whisk in the oil. Strain through a fine meshed strainer directly into tart crust (or into a bowl if the crust is not yet ready, then transfer to crust)
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until filling is set. Cool before removing from tart pan.
