I've been told there is a specific bedding in process that is recommended.

From memory - repeating twelve times, starting moderate brake pressure each time braking a little harder up to max braking pressure.
Alternatively, just drive normally but be aware for the first day or so that you have less brakes. A whole lot less brakes when you first drive away from the service.
If things are glazed up too much, then some hard braking can clean it off...but ease off rather than hard stop. you want to avoid coming to a sudden stop under hard brakes while doing de-glazing because what can happen then is the glazing adheres to the pad and lifts off the disk leaving a pad shaped area on the disc with no glaze. Then the glaze has to wear away from the pad and there's some potential for excess wear because there's an uneven glazing surface on the disk.
Someone correct me if any of that is terribly wrong, please.
