Prepare the crust first, mix the dry ingredients first, then add the olive oil and mix, then add the beaten eggs, and mix well with a fork until all the dough sticks together and away from the sides of the bowl. Use your (clean) hands to mix if needed, but it should be fine with a fork. Divide the dough in half, and press into 2 discs. Put back in the bowl, and put in the fridge for about 10-15 mins.
-
Cook all the vegetables in a large pan over medium heat, with a few Tbsp of organic olive oil.
-
To save time, you can cut and cook at the same time: start by sautéing the minced onion while cutting the butternut, carrots, potatoes, etc. Simply add the veggies to the pan as they are cut. Always start with the onion, and then go from the hardest to cook (like root vegetables) to the quickest (like leafy stuff - Spinach is always last because it cooks very quickly).
-
You'll want to sauté everything until they start to look lightly golden, this might take about 15 minutes or so. Don't worry if some get stuck at the bottom, this will only make your sauce more delicious!
-
While this cooks, get your dough out on a clean and prepared area with parchment paper dusted with flour. If the dough is too hard, just wait a bit until it warms up and softens. Then using your hands and a rolling pin, flattens the dough, gently, always rolling from the middle to the edge, in all different directions, dusting with flour if needed. (this is the annoying part because the parchment paper keeps moving but is needed to transfer later. When it's large enough to cover the bottom of your 9" pie mold (or close to - we're not aiming for perfection here!), use the parchment paper to flip it over and inside. Cook at 400F for 8-10 minutes.
-
When the veggies are nicely golden, transfer to a plate. Add the 1/4 cup flour to the pan and mix with a spoon, cook for 30-45 seconds, scraping the bottom. Add the water and bring to a boil, add the bouillon cubes and mix until it's all dissolved. Reduce the temperature to medium-low, add the salt and pepper, and let cook for a few minutes to thicken a bit.
-
While the sauce is cooking, flatten the 2nd half of the dough, to put on top of your pot pie.
-
Remove the bottom crust from the oven, put all the cooked vegetables into it, and pour the thickened sauce over everything.
-
Flip the other pie crust on top (again, it doesn't matter if it's not perfect, it'll taste just as good!).
-
Put in 400F oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until nicely golden on top.
-
Once cooked, remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. It'll be pipping hot!

Enjoy with a nice green salad for a healthy meal!
