You can bed in a pad/rotor combo anywhere you can perform a series of high speed braking exercises. Personally, I prefer a lightly travelled country road - the kind that surround more tracks here in the USA.
You want to do several successive threshold braking sessions from, say, 80 to 20, until the brakes are good and stinky/smoky. Accelerate to 80, full braking (w/o ABS) to 20, full throttle to 80, repeat until they reek.
Then drive the car
without touching the brakes at all until they return to ambient temperature. This will get an even deposition of pad material on the rotors for optimum braking performance.
