It goes back at least as far as the ancient Egyptians who lived thousands of years ago.
They gave their pyramid builders stone-ground wheat flour for bread. The evidence is the worn-down teeth from grindstone debris that ended up in the bread as seen in the teeth from the skeletons of those workers.
Is that far back enough?

In Asia archaeologists have uncovered stone implements that were used for grinding grain more than 75,000 years ago. Egyptian drawings thousands of years old depict combined milling and baking operations that used mass production methods.
That's a long time ago!
