Prepare the dough by mixing flour, olive oil, water, and salt until smooth.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until elastic, about 5-7 minutes.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté onion and garlic until translucent.

Add ground beef and pork to the skillet, cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

6

Stir in parsley, black pepper, cinnamon, and salt, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

7

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

8

In a bowl, combine the meat mixture with grated cheese, pine nuts, raisins, and hard-boiled eggs, mixing well.

9

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

10

Roll out half of the dough on a floured surface to fit a pie dish.

11

Transfer the rolled dough to the pie dish, pressing it into the corners.

12

Fill the pie crust with the meat mixture, spreading it evenly.

13

Roll out the remaining dough and cover the pie, sealing the edges by crimping.
