Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed; 1/2 cup cold water; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 pound ground beef; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon paprika; Salt and pepper to taste; 1/2 cup green olives, pitted and chopped; 1/4 cup raisins; 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped; Egg wash (1 egg beaten with a splash of water); Optional: fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the cold water, a little at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Shape into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the filling by cooking onion, garlic, ground beef, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, olives, raisins, and hard-boiled egg in a skillet. Let the filling cool slightly.
Roll out the chilled dough, cut out circles, place filling in the center, fold over, crimp edges, and transfer to baking sheet.
Brush the tops with egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
