Add them to the dough together with the pine nuts and make 2-3 cm wide loaves as long as the baking tray. Place them on it, well spaced, and brush the surface with the beaten egg, giving them a delicate, golden coating. Bake in the oven at 180° for about 30 minutes. After cooking, cut the loaves obliquely to give the biscuit its characteristic shape. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes to toast.
