You can skip that if you don’t want to use it.

What is a “water bath”—step 6? 6. Pour this preparation into the previously caramelized pudding form and bake in a water bath for about 50 minutes.

Place the pudding form inside a bigger pan filled half way with hot water and bake the pudding that way.
