13. **Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace**
14. Begin by ensuring your workspace is clean and well-lit. Lay out a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap to dust with a small amount of flour for easy handling.
16. **Keyword Optimization:** Clean work area, prep zone setup
18. **Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients**
19. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these ingredients thoroughly until they are well mixed. This ensures even distribution of the salt, which is crucial for flavor.
21. **Keyword Optimization:** Flour mix, whisking
23. **Step 3: Add Cold Butter**
24. Cut in 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter by using a pastry cutter or your fingers to ensure it’s evenly distributed into small pieces throughout the flour mixture. The goal here is not to overwork the dough; you want to maintain some cold butter chunks.
26. **Keyword Optimization:** Pastry cutter, cold butter
28. **Step 4: Incorporate Ice Water**
29. Slowly add 3/4 cup of ice water while gently folding the mixture with a fork or your hands until it starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix—dough should be just moist enough to hold its shape.
31. **Keyword Optimization:** Ice water, gentle mixing
33. **Step 5: Forming the Dough**
34. Once the dough has formed and is manageable, divide it into two equal parts. Shape each part into a disc by pressing gently with your hands. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap or place them in separate containers to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
36. **Keyword Optimization:** Dividing dough, chilling

40. **Step 6: Assembling the Pot Pie**
41. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Roll out one of the chilled discs on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a pie dish and trim any excess edges.
43. **Keyword Optimization:** Preheating, rolling
45. **Step 7: Baking**
46. Cover with foil if you notice that the edges are browning too quickly. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
48. **Keyword Optimization:** Baking temperature, covering with foil
