To begin making the Strawberry & Chocolate Rolls Recipe With Vanilla Glaze, we have to first make the strawberry filling for the roll. 

For the strawberry filling:

1

In a pan, add the chopped strawberries and cook over medium-heat. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring constantly, or until the strawberries become soft and mushy, and have released their juices.

2

Add in the sugar and cornstarch stir vigorously to avoid forming lumps.  Continue to cook - and stir - for another 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat when the mixture thickens up and transfer the filling into a small bowl. Set aside.

*To make the dough:

1

In a pan, add the milk and heat on low flame for 1 minute until it becomes lukewarm. Turn off the flame. Now add a pinch of sugar and yeast to the lukewarm milk and stir it for few seconds. Keep aside undisturbed for 10 minutes or until froth appears on top of the milk. 

2

While adding the yeast to the milk, ensure that your milk is lukewarm and not hot, because if it is hot then chances are that your yeast will die.

3

In a separate bowl, add sugar, egg, salt, melted butter, and the milk-yeast mixture. Whisk until all ingredients are well combined.

4

Start adding the flour, 1/3rd at a time, and gently mix it with a spatula. Mix well, until a thick, sticky dough forms and all the flour is incorporated.

5

Dump the dough on a well-floured surface and knead just until the dough is no longer sticky and forms a ball.This will take about 10-15 minutes.

6

Alternatively you can even knead the dough in a food processor .

7

Place the dough into a greased bowl. Put little bit oil on top of the dough, cover the bowl with a wet muslin cloth or a towel and allow the dough to rise at a warm place for at least an hour or until doubled in size.

*To make the rolls:

1

Once the dough has risen, put it on a lightly floured surface and gently squish the dough ball with your hands to make a rectangular shape. Now using a rolling pin, start rolling the dough while maintaining the rectangular shape. Roll it to a size of about 14 X 6" rectangle.

2

Now spread the cooled strawberry filling on the rolled out dough leaving about 1/2 inch border. On top of the strawberry filling, spread the grated chocolate.

3

Start making the roll by rolling from the long side. (You have to roll length wise). Now using a serrated knife, cut out about 8 rolls and place them in a greased baking pan.

4

Cover the pan with a wet muslin cloth or a towel and place it at a warm place to rise for about 45 minutes or until the rolls have doubled up in size.

5

Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven at 180°C for about 25 minutes or until they become golden brown.

6

Once your rolls are baked, remove them from the baking pan while they are still warm. Otherwise they will stick to the bottom due to sticky strawberry and chocolate filling.

*For the glaze:

1

In a bowl, add icing sugar, milk, and vanilla essence.

2

Mix well using a whisk or a spoon until you get a smooth and lump free glaze.

3

Drizzle the glaze over warm rolls
