In comparison to conventional bread, gluten-free bread (GF) shows many post-baking defects and a lower nutritional and functional value. Although broccoli leaves are perceived as waste products, they are characterised by a high content of nutrients and bioactive compounds. The present study evaluated the nutritional value, technological quality, antioxidant properties, and inhibitory activity against the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) of GF enriched with broccoli leaf powder (BLP). Compared to the control, gluten-free bread with BLP (GFB) was characterised by a significantly (p < 0.05) higher content of nutrients (proteins and minerals), as well as improved specific volume and bake loss. However, what needs to be emphasised is that BLP significantly (p < 0.05) improved the antioxidant potential and anti-AGE activity of GFB. The obtained results indicate that BLP can be successfully used as a component of gluten-free baked products. In conclusion, the newly developed GFB with improved technological and functional properties is an added-value bakery product that could provide health benefits to subjects on a gluten-free diet.
