For spreading:

Prepare the dough
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine KOMEKO KNUSPERLUST and salt in a bowl. Add the butter in small pieces and mix into a crumbly mixture. Gradually add lukewarm water and knead into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the filling
Heat vegetable oil in a pan and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the diced bell pepper and cook until softened. Add the ground beef and stir-fry until thoroughly cooked. Season with paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the diced hard-boiled eggs. Let the filling cool.
Forming empanadas
Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Roll out the chilled dough thinly on a floured work surface. Cut out circles about 10-12 cm in diameter.
Fill and seal
Place a tablespoon of filling into the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges with a fork to seal the empanadas.
Bake and serve
Place the formed empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with beaten egg to create a golden brown crust. Bake the empanadas in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Then let them cool slightly and serve.
