java.lang.NullPointerException: null - metodo save do repository

Boa tarde!

Estou tentando inserir um produto pelo formulário porém está retornando NullPointerException no metodo save do repository. Poderiam me ajudar?

package br.com.alura.mvc.mudi.controller;

import javax.validation.Valid;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.validation.BindingResult;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

import br.com.alura.mvc.mudi.dto.RequisicaoNovoPedido;
import br.com.alura.mvc.mudi.model.Pedido;
import br.com.alura.mvc.mudi.repository.PedidoRepository;

@Controller
@RequestMapping("pedido")
public class PedidoController {

    private PedidoRepository repository;

    @GetMapping("formulario")
    public String formulario(RequisicaoNovoPedido requisicaoNovoPedido) {
        return "pedido/formulario";
    }

    @PostMapping("novo")
    public String novo(@Valid RequisicaoNovoPedido requisicaoNovoPedido, BindingResult result) {
        if(result.hasErrors()) {
            return "pedido/formulario";
        }

        Pedido pedido = requisicaoNovoPedido.toPedido();
        repository.save(pedido);


        return "redirect:/home";
    }

}

package br.com.alura.mvc.mudi.repository;

import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

import br.com.alura.mvc.mudi.model.Pedido;

@Repository
public interface PedidoRepository extends JpaRepository<Pedido, Long>{

}
