Steps

25 minutes

1

Sauté the onion, bell peppers, and garlic with the bay leaf. Add the ground beef and mix well.
2

Once the beef is cooked, add the tomato sauce to moisten the mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and the spices.
3

Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs and olives. If using raisins, add them now as well.
4

To make the dough: Place the flour in a bowl with the oil and salt. Knead, adding warm water as needed, until you have a soft dough. Roll out and cut into circles about 3 inches (8 cm) in diameter.
5

Place the filling in the center of each circle and fold to close (use a fork or your fingers to seal). Brush the tops with beaten egg and bake at 340°F (170°C) for about 15 minutes, until golden brown.
