Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons cold water
• 1 cup cooked barley
• 1 cup diced carrots
• 1 cup diced celery
• 1 cup diced onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 egg egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the pie crust. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and incorporate it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Step 2: Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into two discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Step 3: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Step 4: Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Stir in the cooked barley, frozen peas, fresh thyme, and parsley.

Step 5

Step 5: Pour in the vegetable broth and simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.

Step 6

Step 6: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one disc of the chilled pie dough on a floured surface and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough from the edges.

Step 7

Step 7: Add the cooled filling into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Step 8: Roll out the second disc of dough and use it to cover the pie. Trim the edges, pinch to seal, and crimp decoratively. Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 9

Step 9: Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills.

Step 10

Step 10: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 11

Step 11: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Thoroughbread Pie!
