Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper; mix well and remove from heat.

Chop green olives and hard-boiled eggs; fold into the beef mixture along with chopped parsley.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat oil for frying.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut dough into circles using a large cutter or bowl.

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

Fold the dough over the filling and crimp edges to seal.

Brush the tops with egg wash for baking or prepare for frying.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown or fry until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
