In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. This includes the 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, and ½ teaspoon salt.
To the bowl of dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients. This includes the 15 ounce canned pumpkin, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup vegetable oil, and ¼ cup water. Stir until smooth.
Grease an light-colored metal 8.5x4.5" (taller loaf) or 9x5" loaf pan (shorter loaf), then line with parchment paper. Pour batter into pan, leaving at least 1-inch of space at the top.
If using the 8.5x4.5" loaf pan (or smaller), there will be leftover batter which you can bake it into a few muffins, mini loafs, or use with the help of a parchment sling overhang (to keep the batter in when it rises).
* See notes section below for more information on varying loaf pan sizes.
Read these baking instructions carefully!
Bake at 350°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes total, but after 45 minutes, tent a piece of foil on top to prevent the top from overbrowning. This will allow the inside to finish baking without overbaking the top.
* Because ovens bake differently, use a toothpick or skewer to check for doneness around 60 minutes. If you're using a dark metal pan, you will want to check for brownness earlier around the 30 minute mark. You will also likely not need to bake for the full 1 hour and 15 minutes.
After allowing the bread to fully cool, cut into thick slices and enjoy!
