Morphology
The meaning 'a pan or mold used for baking' is directly and transparently composed from 'baking' (the activity of making goods in an oven) + 'form' (a shape or container). This noun–noun composition follows normal English compounding and has clear parallels in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Baking form comes from the simple idea of a form, a pan or mold that holds dough while you are baking, so the food keeps its 'shape'. That's why the phrase means 'a pan or container used to shape dough or batter'.
