Preheat oven to 350ยบ. Prepare two 9 x 5 bread pans with cooking spray and flour.
Sift together dry ingredients including sugar into a bowl.
Add oil, eggs, water, and pumpkin. Mix well. Portion batter into the two prepared bread pans.
Bake for one hour or until done - when toothpick comes out clean.
Cool slightly and turn out of pans. Bread should be made a day ahead of use. I usually serve one and either freeze the other or share with a pumpkin bread lover.
