The absence of gluten proteins in sorghum allows for the production of baked goods that are suitable for celiacs. Previous studies have shown that the milling process affects the performance of sorghum flour in baked products, especially those that are gluten-free (GF). This study aimed to explore the effects of mill type (impact and roller) on flour properties and GF bread quality by assessing the technological quality, antioxidant activity, and mineral content of the bread. All particle populations of flour obtained via both millings presented a bimodal distribution, and the volume mean diameter (D 4,3) ranged from 431.6 µ:m to 561.6 µ:m. The partially refined milled flour obtained via polishing and impact milling produced bread with a soft crumb, fewer but larger alveoli in the crumb, and a structure that did not collapse during baking, showing the best performance in bread quality. In the in vitro bread digestibility assay, the total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity decreased during the digestion steps. High mineral (Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn) contents were also found in a portion of the bread (120 g) made with whole sorghum flour: however, their potential bioavailability was reduced in the presence of a higher amount of bran.
