Instructions
Mix 4 cups flour, 1 cup Parmesan, yeast and salt in large bowl.
Add water and oil; stir until mixture forms soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic, gradually adding remaining flour.
Cut dough into 4 pieces. (Each piece is enough for a 12-inch pizza.) Spray 1 dough piece with cooking spray; cover loosely with plastic wrap.
Let stand 15 minutes. See tip for how to store remaining dough for another use.
Roll 1 dough piece (after standing 15 minutes) into 12-inch round on lightly floured surface; place on pizza pan.
Bake 6 minutes. Top with tomato sauce, drained tomatoes, mozzarella, pepperoni and 1 tablespoon Parmesan.
Bake 15 minutes or until mozzarella is melted and edge of crust is golden brown.
Recommended wine: Sangiovese, Shiraz, Barbera Wine
Pizza can be paired with Sangiovese, Shiraz, and Barbera Wine. The best wine for pizza depends on the toppings! Red sauce pizza will call for a red wine with some acidity, such as a barberan or sangiovese. Add pepperoni or sausage and you can go bolder with a syrah. The Tenuta di Nozzole Chianti Classico Riserva ( half-bottle) with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.

Tenuta di Nozzole Chianti Classico Riserva ( half-bottle)
Crisp, ripe, red berry and cherry aromas are shaped by vibrant, fresh acidity. In the mouth, flavors show classic Sangiovese notes of earth, mushrooms and leather, with a backbone of firm yet elegant tannins. Pairs well with meats and meat pasta sauces, poultry and hard cheeses.
