Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to combine.
In another large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, water, and eggs until smooth and well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the pans from the oven and let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the loaves from the pans and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your Pumpkin Bread II! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
