In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add flour, yogurt, olive oil, and salt. Mix and knead into a soft dough, about 7–8 minutes.
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an oval about 8 inches long.
Mix all cheeses, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spoon the filling into the center of each oval, leaving a border.
Fold the edges inward slightly and pinch the ends to form a boat shape.
Brush the edges with egg yolk and milk mixture. Sprinkle red pepper flakes and sesame seeds over the cheese.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
Serve warm.
