1) Find someplace where you can do the following safely.
2) Get car up to about 60 mph.
3) Hit the brakes hard (if ABS doesn't kick in, you're probably not doing it hard enough) and slow to about 10 mph. Do not come to a complete stop.
4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 a few times.
5) Drive around until pads and rotors cool off. Slow speed; no stops; use brakes as little as possible.
6) Done.

Edit: Carbotech bedding procedure
I would add a note that ABS kicking in is a ok reference point on the first bedding cycle. But once the rotors heat up, you really do not want ABS kicking in. You want to brake as hard as you can without triggering ABS. The way ABS pulses the brakes does not help with the bedding process.
