Prepare the bread slices. Ensure your soda bread is sliced into thick, even pieces, about 3/4 to 1-inch thick. This helps it toast evenly without drying out.

Butter the toast immediately. As soon as the bread is toasted, transfer it to a plate. Spread each hot slice generously with about 1/2 tablespoon of softened salted butter, allowing it to melt completely into the nooks and crannies.
Garnish and serve. For an extra touch of flavor and texture, sprinkle a small amount of flaky sea salt over the melted butter. Serve immediately while warm.
