Pumpkin Bread

INGREDIENTS
all-purpose flour   3¼ cups
baking soda  2 tsp
ground nutmeg   1 tsp
pumpkin purée   2 cups well packed
vegetable oil   1 cup
walnuts   ½ cup chopped ( or cashew nuts/ almonds)
salt  1½ tsp
ground cinnamon   1 tsp
sugar   3 cups 
water    1 cup 
eggs    4

METHOD
Grease and flour three 7 x 3 inch pans or use a very big pan.
 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Measure flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and spices into a large bowl. Stir to blend. Add pumpkin, water, salad oil, eggs, and nuts. Beat until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake for approximately 1 hour , better check after 35-40 minutes if done, by piercing  a  knife right in the centre of the pan, if it comes out clean, then it is done, or else keep for another 5-10 minutes. 

In some oven, especially smaller ones, like mine, cakes/ bread gets done before the specified time, so, I keep looking 10 minutes earlier, for smell, then check by piercing with a knife in the centre.
