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

Add olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients.

Knead the dough until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

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

Cook ground beef with chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic in a skillet over medium heat until browned.

Stir in cumin, oregano, and black olives; cook for 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

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

Place a spoonful of filling on one half of each circle.

Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the filling, then fold the dough over to seal.

Press the edges with a fork to ensure they are closed.

Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
