Preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
To make the pie crust, mix 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl.
Cut in 1 cup of unsalted butter until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs.
Add 0.5 cup of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together.
Divide the dough into two discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add 1 large diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautΓ©ing until the onion is translucent.
Add 2 diced carrots, 2 diced celery stalks, 1 diced red bell pepper, 1 diced zucchini, and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms. Cook until slightly tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in 0.5 cup of frozen peas, 2 tablespoons of flour, and mix well.
Gradually add 1.5 cups of vegetable broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
Season with 1 teaspoon of thyme and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Let the mixture cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disc to fit a 9-inch pie pan.
Place the rolled dough into the pie pan, trimming any excess overhang.
Pour the vegetable filling into the crust-lined pan.
Roll out the second dough disc and place it over the filled pie. Trim, fold, and crimp the edges to seal.
Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Beat 1 egg and brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
