Baked Empanadas Draft
Baked empanadas in a simple olive oil dough, filled with spiced ground beef, hard-boiled egg and olives. I bake them instead of frying.

How I make it
Filling
Sauté the chopped onion in the olive oil, add the chopped garlic and stir.
Add the ground beef and cook, stirring, until it changes color.
Add the tomatoes and spices and cook, keeping an eye on it, until all the liquid evaporates, about 25 minutes.
Let cool, then add the crumbled egg and chopped olives.
Dough and baking
Mix all the dough ingredients and knead into a smooth, elastic dough.
Roll the dough out about ¼ inch (½ cm) thick and cut out circles with a large glass.
Place some filling in the center of each circle, fold into a half-moon and press the edges firmly to seal.
Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) until nicely golden, about 30 minutes.
