Knead the flour, butter, water, and half of the salt into a smooth dough.
Rest the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Soften the onion in the oil for 6 minutes, then add the minced beef and brown it for 8 minutes.
Stir the ground red pepper, cumin, olives, chopped boiled eggs, and remaining salt into the filling, then let it cool.
Roll out the dough, cut rounds, divide the filling among them, and close each one into a half-moon.
Crimp the edges to seal and brush the tops with beaten egg.
Bake the pastry parcels at 200°C for 24 minutes, until browned.
💡 Tip: Do not put the filling into the dough while it is still hot; warm beef softens the pastry and can open the crimped edge.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot for sharing with tomato salsa, pickled peppers, and ayran if desired.
