Add the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Continue whisking until the mixture is just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the raisins and walnuts (if using).

Allow bread to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then release onto a wire baking rack. Allow to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving. Leftover bread may be stored in a large zip-top plastic bag at room temperature for 1 day, in refrigerator up to 4 days, or in freezer up to 3 months.
