Potbrood ("pot bread") is bread first made by the Boer settlers of what is now South Africa. Potbrood was traditionally baked in a cast-iron pot (also known as a Dutch oven) in a pit made in the ground and lined with hot coals.

Potbrood is often made at a braai (barbecue) by packing charcoal or wood coals around a cooking pot.{{cite web |url=http://www.ejozi.co.za/south-african-cuisine/potbrood.html |title=Potbrood in South African Cuisine |accessdate=21 May 2012}}
