Prepare the pastry: combine the flour with 3 g of the salt in a large bowl. Add the cold cubed butter and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add the cold water, mixing just until a cohesive dough forms. Divide the dough into two portions, making one slightly larger than the other. Shape them into discs, wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Prepare the filling: place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the beef. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, remaining 5 g salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and most excess liquid has evaporated.

Remove the skillet from the heat. Fold in the sliced olives and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Let the filling cool to room temperature so it does not soften the pastry.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease or line a 23 cm (9-inch) pie dish with parchment paper.
