Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Sift flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg (if using) together in a large bowl.

Beat eggs, oil, vanilla extract, white sugar and brown sugar together in a large bowl, until creamy and fully combined.

Add the sifted ingredients to the egg mixture, little by little and beat well until fully combined.

Stir in the grated zucchini and chopped nuts (if using) until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan(s).

Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean if using a larger pan and 40-60 minutes if using two smaller pans. If the edges and top brown before the center is settled, cover the bread with aluminum foil and continue baking. Make sure you check on the bread to avoid burning.

Cool in pan on rack for about 20 minutes.

Remove bread from pan, and completely cool before storing or freezing.

The bread can be served warm or cold.
