Nutella turnovers, an easy and quick recipe with no leavening. Turnovers are a typical dish from Puglia. These are small pizzas stuffed and folded in half; in my case, I made them sweet with Nutella spread. Usually, they are fried, but I cooked them in a pan; if you prefer, you can also cook them in an air fryer. Eaten hot, they are truly amazing, also delicious when cold, save the recipe and try them as soon as possible!
