Brakes hot enough to smell bad are well-overheated.
I would be doing 2 things now .....
1. Change the brake fluid 'cos it has had a severe beating
2. Pull the pads and check the caliper dust seals 'cos they have probably melted and you'll get brake dust and cr4p onto the piston and next time you fit new pads, that cr4p will ruin the caliper seals (ask me how I know). If so, factor in dust seal replacement and piston cleaning at next pad change.
The bedding procedure also says "drive the car with minimal brake usage - consistent with safety - for a minimum 20 minutes to cools the braking system" - did you do that ?
