Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, melt butter and mix with milk and eggs until combined.

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, cook ground beef with onions and garlic in a skillet over medium heat until browned.

Add diced potatoes, peas, cumin, and paprika to the beef mixture; cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in chopped hard-boiled eggs and olives; let cool.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Divide the risen dough into equal portions and roll each into a circle.

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal tightly.

Arrange the buns on a baking sheet and brush with egg wash.

Bake until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
