Preheat oven to 325F degrees (350F if using a metal loaf pan). Spray loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices.
In a separate mixing bowl, mix together brown sugar, canned pumpkin, eggs, oil and water. Stir well to combine.
Add dry ingredients to wet and stir just until blended together. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes.
Oven times will vary so just be sure to check your bread after the first 50 minutes. Insert a toothpick to test if it is completely baked through.
When bread is almost finished, start working on the glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together butter, brown sugar and milk.
Bring it up to a boil for about 2 minutes. Whisk constantly so it doesn't burn.
When the bread is finished (while still warm), start poking a bunch of holes in it using a fork.
Be sure to put a paper towel underneath your loaf pan too because once you start pouring the glaze, it may go a little over the edge.
Start slowly pouring the warm glaze over the warm bread and aim for the holes you poked.
Press chopped pecans (if you're using) into the top of the bread. Allow to cool before slicing.
