Make 20 circles from one of the pieces and attach to the larger circles on the baking sheet. Divide the third piece of dough into 40 equal pieces and shape into the ears. Attach to the smaller circles on the baking sheet.
Leave to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Brush the buns with egg.
