Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, spreading it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let the pumpkin bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
