Combine the ingredients in the order that they are listed and then mix by hand or mixer until you have a soft, smoothish dough.
Cover the dough, and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours, however long it takes for the dough to double in size.
When finished rising, gently punch down the dough and divide it into 8 pieces.
Roll each piece into a round ball and gently flatten so it is about 3″ wide.
Transfer each of the buns on a parchment lined baking sheet with at least 1.5″ inches in-between each bun, use two sheet pans if necessary.
Cover the dough again and let rise for about an hour.
Preheat oven to 355F.
When finished rising, brush egg wash on top of each bun and then top with shredded cheese, around 1 tbsp per bun.
Bake for 15-17 minutes.
When done, let cool before enjoying!
Notes
August 2023 edit: I've decreased the amount of onion powder and garlic powder in the recipe as readers find it too strong. Feel free to use less or more as listed.
