Baking with muriatic acid
and I thought this was only good to clean oily driveways :)
Check out "unfermented bread" from November 1879.

Nope, also good for removing heavy lime deposits from fishtank heaters, water stills, and toilet bowls. They must have a drafty kitchen. I always hold my breath when I squirt that stuff on things.
thank you, MangoChutney :)
A very simple soda bread using the acid as the, well, acid in the recipe. The recipe calls for only one tablespoon, so I don't think there's much to worry about. Be sure to add the acid to the water and not vice versa.

chemistry was not my strong subject :)

Oh, I'm sorry Anna. I thought you understood that it was replacing vinegar as the acid in that recipe, or I would have explained. In that case, I will explain that it doesn't actually clean oil from driveways. It etches the concrete, which is kind of like artificial limestone, into a rougher surface so that paint will stick better. I thought you were just being casual with the statement. *smile*
that all I need to do is use the pool water when baking, things could have been so much different :-)
If you are referring to chlorination, that is not done with hydrochloric acid. Chlorine bleach is most commonly sodium hypochlorite, which is not acidic. If you've actually been acidifying your swimming pool with hydrochloric acid, ignore me and carry on. *smile*
