For the dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add water and oil, mixing with your hands until a dough forms. Knead briefly until smooth. Cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.

For the filling: In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off excess fat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, crumbled bouillon cube, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 6 inches in diameter).

Place a spoonful of the beef filling onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a border. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
