Add in ground beef, salt, pepper, allspice and cinnamon. Brown the ground beef until cooked. Stir in the pine nuts. Turn the heat off and set the filling aside. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Divide the dough in half. Coat a baking dish with non-stick spray. Spread half of the dough in the baking dish. Top with the filling. Spread the other half of the dough on top of the filling. Wet your hands so you can spread the dough easily. Cut the kibbeh to form diamond shaped balls. Bake in the oven until completely cooked. Let them cool for 10 minutes.
