Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Filling

3 1/2 cups flour
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2/3 cup water
2 cups pumpkin

Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Mix filling ingredients in order listed and set aside.

Sift dry ingredients together. Mix pumpkin, water, oil and eggs together. Pour into dry mixture and mix well. Pour 1/2 of batter into 2 greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pans. Next pour a layer of filling in each pan (using all of the filling). Finish topping with remaining bread batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.

Cool before removing from pans.
